This year’s Battle of the Books was another success! The competition took place on the May 15th, 2013 in the library. Three teams of students competed in the jeopardy-style competition and answered questions about ten different books from this year’s list. The list was made up of multiple genres (short stories, novels, poetry, and non-fiction) and included award winners such as Wonder, by Patricia Palacia, Trapped: how the World Recued 33 Miners from 2,000 Feet Below the Chilean Desert, by Marc Aronson, and “The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
This year’s champions, The Terrific Trio, catapulted into first place with their “all or nothing” final jeopardy wager. All teams received Barnes and Noble gift cards for their participation. Thank you to our kind staff members who came out to support the teams on the day of the competition.
