Battle of the Books

Each year, Harrison hosts three Battle of the Books tournaments.  Battle of the Books is a competition where students form teams, read books, and then compete to see which teams can answer the most questions about the books that they read.  It's a great way to boost reading motivation and it's FUN!

For more information about how we run our Battle of the Books, please see this blog post.

Here are our 2020 Battle of the Books Lists. Battles will be in May!  Best of luck, teams!
