Battle of the Books

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

2024-25 BOOKS ARE AWESOME!

Battle of the Books is a cooperative effort between Inglewood, Rose Hill, Kirkland, Finn Hill, Evergreen, Redmond, International Community, Kamiakin and Timberline Middle Schools. This program allows 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in each school to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. The goal is to encourage students at all reading levels to engage in teamwork while reading some of the best in children’s literature. Challenge questions are based on specific and factual information within the books.

Thanks to a grant from the Lake Washington Schools Foundation, we have multiple copies of each book available for students to check out from the ICS Library. Additionally, ebook versions of our BOB books are available on the SORA platform which students can access on Classlink. The Secret message is: Mrs. Peterson's favorite genre is mystery.
