It has been a short hot summer, but the Area-Wide Book Battle Committee has been reading up a storm and are very excited about the list of books for this year's AWBB.
We've also revised the procedures a bit, so make sure you read them over carefully. You will find some new deadlines for registration and cancellations.
On the right sidebar you will find everything you need to register and begin developing your Book Battle teams: the procedures, registration form, and book list. When you click on the forms, make sure you download them before printing. Finally, during the next few weeks we will be posting information about the different books and the authors. We will also begin the question of the week in January with a prize for the school that answers the most questions correctly. If you are unable to participate via the blog email me (vonharzj@gmail.com) and I will send you the question.
