2027 Book Madness

For the 2026-2027 school year, we have upped our game! This year 4th, 5th and 6th will each have their own Book Madness book bracket for the competition. (It's madness!)

The reading part of the competition is open. The grade level to read the most books in each competition will win a prize (prizes to be announced later).

For more information about the rules of the competition please see the information below.

How to play:

ALL 4TH THROUGH 6TH GRADE STUDENTS MAY CHOOSE TO COMPETE IN BOOK MADNESS - IT IS 100% VOLUNTARY.
Each grade level will have their own collection of books to read and vote on.
There are two ways to participate: by reading the books and by voting for the books (the reading portion is active now, the voting portion will start at the end of January).
The competition should be encouraging and fun - encouraging friends to read is great - we should all encourage and respect each other's choices.
PARTICIPATING STUDENTS MAY READ AS MANY BOOKS FROM THE LIST OF 16 BOOKS as they can until February 19TH, 2027.
EACH BOOK read PER STUDENT IS AN ENTRY (MEANING IF A STUDENT READS 3 OF THE BOOKS THEY HAVE 3 ENTRIES FOR THEIR GRADE).
IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR a prize in THE reading COMPETITION A GRADE MUST HAVE AT LEAST 10 ENTRIES.
reading is VERIFIED IN ORDER TO qualify as an entry. (the best way is through TAKING AN ar qUIZ or writing a short summary, See the librarian if you have any questions.)
If you took an AR on a book madness book before this year’s competition it does not count for this competition. However, if you read the book but didn't take an AR, you can take the AR and it will qualify for an entry!
You are not required to borrow the books from the library for this activity - classroom libraries, books from a friend, the public library are all fine. audio books and eBooks work, too!
AS A COURTESY TO OTHERS THAT MAY BE WAITING FOR THE BOOK, PLEASE finish it as soon as possible and RETURN it ON TIME.
if someone is waiting for the book to be returned, YOU MAY NOT RENEW A 'BOOK MADNESS' library BOOK. If you haven’t finished reading the book, speak to the librarian.
ALL 4TH THROUGH 6TH GRADE STUDENTS MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE VOTING FOR BOOKS.
Any other questions? Ask the Librarian! 🙂
