I loved all of the final three. Tales Dark and Grimm was a book I could recommend to all the kids at my school - I think the older kids would have enjoyed the campiness of it. Okay for Now was just a great story showing how you can do good for someone other than yourself and I really connected to the art. But Monster Calls will be my pick. It was a beautiful tale that I did not think I could read without thinking about my own mom who passed away three years ago from cancer but it was all good. The imagery just spoke to me. It would not be for every student but I am voting for a great overall book.
See you all next year!
We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!
