IN PAPER The Age MS Readathon Ultimate Story The Ultimate Story is a story published in the Education section of The Age every Monday over five consecutive weeks that students are invited to complete. Each chapter is written by a different children’s author, so readers must prepare themselves for a tale of unpredictable twists and turns. At the end, students are invited to write the concluding chapter. The Ultimate Story also counts as one book in the MS Readathon, which raises funds for multiple sclerosis.
