Sign up with Ms. Sjoland in the library.
If you have a team of 3 to 4, just let Ms. Sjoland know that you’re a team.
If you want to participate but don’t have a team, that’s ok! Just sign up with Ms. Sjoland and she’ll help find you a team.
Start reading the books! Depending on your team, you may only need to read 2 or 3… and you have about 4 months! Ms. Sjoland will be getting some extra copies of all of the BoB books.
We encourage you to to shop local! The Tattered Cover is Denver's own amazing independent book store, and they are big supporters of our schools and our DCSD Battle of the Books event! Show them some love by clicking on the titles below and ordering your books for pickup at Aspen Grove or shipped to your home. OK, their website is under construction, so I linked to Books Are Awesome because they also support our Battle! Another great local bookstore that supports us is Sudden Fiction in Castle Rock.
