Battle of the Books (BOB) promotes reading and teamwork through introducing genres of literature to fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students. Teams of no more than five students will be formed and encouraged to read and answer questions based upon selected titles in a game-show style of competition against other students. If you do not have a team, one will be created with you.
