The Area-Wide Middle School Book Battle gives middle school students in the St. Louis, Missouri, area the opportunity to meet and discuss current books of interest. The Area-Wide Book Battle Committee creates a list of 20 books that includes a variety of genres and reading levels. The book battle is in a trivia-style format. Questions for each book are formatted so each answer is the title and author of a book on the list. Some of the questions are fairly obvious, while others require a deeper understanding of the book. In addition, trivia questions and even more difficult tiebreaker questions require team members to provide details from the books. 

Students are encouraged to create teams to read and discuss the books contained on the list. If necessary, schools may conduct semi-final rounds to select their final team. One team per middle school may register to attend the fully in-person Area-Wide Middle School Book Battle held at Pattonville Heights Middle School in Maryland Heights, Missouri. Teams may be made up of sixth, seventh, and/or eighth grade students enrolled in the registered school with a maximum of 8 students per team. There is no minimum number of participants on a team. Only 6 students will be allowed to play at any one time. For more information click on the Rules and Dates & Times tabs.
