The 2025-26 Battle of the Books is a competition where students read a set of diverse books chosen by the Bentonville Middle School Librarians. Students are encouraged to read as many as they can and then vote on a winner in a "march madness" type bracket. The students then form teams and compete in a school-wide trivia contest about the books. The top two winning teams from BFMS will go on to compete in a district-wide competition for a trophy and bragging rights!Â
