Battle of the Books 2012-13

Hear ye!       Hear ye!

Calling all valiant readers who seek a literary quest.

Join the epic Battle of the Books for the 2012-13 school year!

The Battle of the Books is an exciting tournament of reading.  Students will form teams of 4-5 players.  Among them, they will read the list of 16 books prescribed by the royal court of the Oregon Battle of the Books.  The tournament will begin in January 2013.  Battles will be held during lunch recesses until only one team remains in the field.  The team that wins the title of Grand Book Battlers will then move on to compete against other "kingdoms" in our area.

May the best team become Champion of the Books!
