Do
you have what it takes to compete in the Battle of the Books?
The teams that represent our school this year will be formed based on individual performance-- so the more books you read, the better your chances of going to the County battle! You must choose 4 books and write 10 questions for each of them in order to participate in the school battle. We'll use your questions in practice battles. Here
