2023-24 Battle of the Books
2023-24 Battle of the Books
Please join us for a reading quiz competition in Spring of 2024. We are joining North Hollywood High School and other area schools. The competition might be virtual or a smaller local version.
The culminating activity for Battle of the Books is a quiz competition, but any student is welcome to read from the list and have fun discussions with peers about the books during our meetings. If you don't have plans to be on a team or are not in the Library Club, that's fine. However, if you read several of the titles, a team may ask for you to join. Ideally, a team of 3 or 4 will divide the list so that the group will have read all 15 titles. Sometimes, a team is made up of readers who are less organized, and that's OK too.
If you want to join, click the link below. Stop by the meetings to get updates and to bond over books. :) The reading list for this year includes an enticing mix of contemporary young adult literature. Find the books at the school library, MackinVia, the public library, or wherever you like to get your books. Start right away!
FYI:
The battle questions are written so that the answer is always the title and author of one of the books. Here is an example of what the questions are like:
Question: In which book do a bear and a pig help a donkey get a house?
Answer: The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne ( < Just an example, not one of our selections for this year.)
