What is Battle of the Books?
Battle of the Books is a competition between several schools over who knows more about 30 selected books. Teams are formed into five or six students. Each student on the team is responsible for becoming the “expert” on about five or six books. Each team then competes in a tournament style competition with the winners of the earlier rounds advancing to the following rounds of competition. The winners from each bracket then compete in the championship “battle.”
Throughout the year, our Battle of Books club practices and competes in mini competitions against one another to prepare for the competition against other schools.
