Battle of the Books
Teams of 3-6 students within their age/grade-level brackets will sign up to read and master 15 age-appropriate books. This leads up to an event where they'll compete with the other teams at their level to answer questions about all the books to earn points. The team(s) with the highest points wins! It's that simple!
Welcome to the 1st annual Battle of the Books!
