In the New South Wales Southern Tablelands town of Braidwood, a literary treasure hunt craze is sweeping the streets.
Kids find a book sealed in a plastic sleeve, take it home to read, write their name in it, and then re-hide it or pass it on to a friend.
The books are hidden in shop windows, parks and around the streets.
The concept is simple and follows the global painted rocks craze, where kids hunt for painted rocks around their local neighbourhood.
Mum of 10, Samantha Dixon, started the trend after seeing it on a community Facebook page overseas.
