The competition took place on May 28th in the middle/high school library. The three competing teams were cheered on by classmates, parents, and several middle school staff as they answered a slew of jeopardy-style questions about ten different books from this year’s list. The line-up included award winners such as The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman; The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by Joyn Boyne; Counting by 7s, by Holly Goldberg Sloan; and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.”
Despite tough competition and a close finish, Team “Vermcious Knids” was victorious, receiving Barnes and Noble gift cards (with the support of an OTA grant). Members on two other teams received a fiction book of their choice for participation. Thank you to our kind staff members who came out to support the teams on the day of the competition.
