John Green mounted his mighty steamroller of a book and flattened the competition. Along the way however, we had the opportunity to read lots of excellent young adult selections. We also had the opportunity to share, argue, implore, rage, marvel, meh and reflect on what will work with the readers we try to inspire on a daily basis.
We always have room for more so if you have been reading along but now want to blog and smack please leave a comment and we will invite you next year. Thank you to all of you who participate, smack or read this blog. We hope to see you back next year when a whole new parcel of books start going Fourth.

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!
