Dear Readers,

The Olympics and a mission to Mars were two of this summer's big news events. We're still talking about them. That's why we had to share these stories with you. Ask your teacher to log in at timeforkids.com/digitaleditions to see free extra content, photos and videos.

We also have some big news of our own. A monthly Family Edition of TFK is now available for the iPad and Nook Tablet. To find out how to buy it, go to the Apple App Store or barnesandnoble.com/nook. We look forward to sharing this year's top stories with you--in print, on whiteboards and on tablets.

Best,

Nellie Gonzalez Cutler

Managing Editor, TIME FOR KIDS
