Boone High School’s Battle of the Books team, The ToREADors, competed in the Iowa High School Battle of the Books Grand Battle (IAHSBOB) in Ames and earned 3rd place! 📚
The IAHSBOB program challenges teams of 4-6 students to read 28 award-winning books, answer detailed questions about each title, and collaboratively write a literary analysis response for a selected book chosen by coordinators.
During the Grand Battle, students also had the opportunity to hear from Randy Ribay, author of "Everything We Never Had," and ask questions about his experiences as an author. It was a unique opportunity to interact with an award-winning writer and learn more about the creative process.
We are so proud of our ToREADors and all of their hard work and accomplishments! 🎉
