AN Ellesmere Port mum of two has organised a book hunt for youngsters to enjoy in local parks this half-term holiday.

Carly Brumby, local Usborne independent organiser and business owner of 'Books with Carly', has hidden more than 100 books in the local parks and streets of Ellesmere Port for children to find.

Youngsters have the option to read and keep, or read and re-hide for someone else to find.

The initiative was made possible after Carly sent out a plea for donations from local businesses who made this possible.

The books can be found in locations such as Whitby Park, Summertrees, Rivacre Valley and Dolphin Crescent.
