A new competition is aiming to get families reading and exploring together for a chance to win cash prizes.
The 'Find Thump the Rolling Stone' competition encourages families to enjoy books and nature while supporting local conservation efforts.
It will launch on Saturday, September 6 and will end on Sunday, October 27.
To take part, families need to purchase a copy of Thump the Rolling Stone, which can be enjoyed together or gifted to a local school or child.
Once they have their book, families are invited to explore the Rivington area, keeping an eye out for one of five special stones.
Each stone has a unique code that correlates to a cash prize and a box of goodies.
The code should be emailed to michaeljames@boltonbooks.co.uk to claim the prize.
For those who haven't found a stone by Sunday, October 27, at noon, the What3words locations of each stone will be revealed.
A portion of the book sales—33 per cent—will help develop conservation areas in schools.
Seven per cent will also be directed to the MITO Foundation, which supports mitochondrial disease research, with ambassador Noah Barlow championing the cause.

To claim a cash prize, participants need proof of a Thump purchase, either the book itself or a receipt.
A spokesperson for the competition said: "We’re hoping to encourage people around the need to support nature and hopefully the start of each annual 'hunt for Thump' will enable more of this."
