Battle of the books is open to a team of no more than 12 committed and highly motivated 4th and 5th graders. Each student is required to thoroughly read all 15 books and to know the author and title of each book. When students try out in early October, they must know the title and author of each book on the list and must have read at least six books on the Battle of the Books list. The team will compete in an all-county competition where students will answer questions in front of a panel of judges in March of 2024. Expectations for team membership include no behavioral issues, good attendance, cooperation, participation, and team collaboration.
