What is The Battle of the Books?

It is a trivia competition between OC 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes involving 8 books.  Each class will have 3 participating representatives and one alternate representative. During the battle, questions about the selected books will be asked. The team that answers the most questions correctly wins the battle for their class!

How can I represent my class?

Read as many of the selected books as you can and take the Battle of the Books quiz. The 3 students scoring the highest on the quiz will represent their class. 

How can I participate if I am not my class rep?

Students from each class may be called upon by their class representatives as a “phone-a-friend.”  Even if you are not selected to represent your class, your knowledge of the selected books may help your class.  Each class will create a class name, theme and a class chant.  The chants will be presented by the whole class during the battle.  Also, all students can dress to the theme selected by their class.   

Where can I get the books?
