I know this doesn’t happen often but surprisingly all four of us at ABM agreed that although both books were enjoyable to read, Fault in Our Stars was by far the better book overall. We all love some good smack but none going on here for this round! This book had everything – humor, relationships, reality, a bit of crazy and a lot of emotion! A few of us have also agreed that it could go all the way!! Emotionally gripping with believable characters – even the drunk author! I agree with everything Wendy posted in the previous round!! Although I wouldn’t recommend to all JH students I would have no problem sharing with mature HS students. This is by far one of my favorite all time books! Keep it going!! Team ABM – Tristin, Chris, Annabel, Donna
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!
