I'm super excited because today we are revealing the Summer Story Challenge leaderboard.

You can check it out at storypirates.com/leaderboard, where I'm proud to say that a whole bunch of you have already sent in a whole bunch of stories.

Now, you'll notice when you look at the leaderboard that there are a lot of ties right now, which makes sense.

And of course, I have to shout-out our first leaderboard leader.

Congrats to Tabitha in Arizona.

Tabitha has already sent in many stories, but don't get freaked out by her early lead because Vivi in Connecticut, Jane in Florida, and Rory in Kansas are right behind her.

And it's early in the summer.

There is so much time left for everyone to write stories.

And speaking of kids who aren't on the leaderboard yet, shout-out to David in Georgia who says, "I heard about the Summer Story Challenge and I would like to commit in it.

I will be sending in a ton of stories." And a shout-out to George and Arthur from Canada, who tell us that they are writing stories together all summer, which is awesome.

I just can't believe how amazing the Summer Story Challenge is already, and there is so much time to get involved.

We want to read as many stories as we can.

We'll be updating the leaderboard weekly at storypirates.com/leaderboard, and I'll be shouting out more kids here on the podcast.

Grown-ups, you can find links to the leaderboard and find out how to get your kids involved in the Summer Story Challenge in the show notes for today's episode.
