Here is the list of the rest of the books in the order in which we'll be discussing them. You can read other books ahead of time, that way we'll be able to share the copies we have more easily. Remember to write down questions and notes as you are reading! If you have copies to share, bring them in and we'll put them on the Battle of the Books shelf in the library!

Becoming Naomi Leon
Airborn
The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place
Annie, Between the States

Defiance

The Number Devil
Wish you Well

Hi! I hope you are enjoying Battle of the Books! I am enjoying getting to read these books (I know it is hard to find time!) and because this is the first year we are doing this, I am glad to see such a wonderful turn-out for our team. I want to thank Mrs. Bennett for all her support.

So far we have met to discuss the first two books:

Al Capone Does My Shirts, by Gennifer Choldenko
Welcome to the Ark, by Stephanie Tolan.

We will meet Monday, November 30th at lunch in the library to discuss

Code Orange by Caroline Cooney

PLEASE make sure that you bring at least two questions each, preferably MORE. Please write each question on a separate small piece of paper. I will pass out a short summary and a few discussion topics at the meeting; be prepared to take notes!

I will list the books in the order of discussion in the next post.
