The library is sponsoring two teams of students in the Wisconsin Battle of the Books. One team is made up of four students from grades 4 and 5 and the second team is made up of five students from grades 6, 7 and 8.
Each team has a list of 20 books for which they are responsible to know Title, Author and important characters, events and theme. The last week of February they will do “Battle” by answering clues with the correct book title and author. Each student does not read all 20 books but they are divided up among the team. The thicker books will hopefully have a couple of readers to assist in remembering all the details.
