America's Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program for students in grades 3-12. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read good books and have fun while competing with peers.

As an added bonus, it would also give us a good plan for summer reading. I heard back from her old school and it looks like I've got to try and get a team together from the new school. Considering tomorrow is the last day of school, it should be a challenge!
