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!

Happy that sweet was not overlooked...
Teen readers are bombarded by adult messaging and there are many times when I have questioned whether a teen read was a good "fit" for my own teenager. I am pleasantly surprised that a few books that didn't have the typical teen "wow" factor are in the running. I think messages of kindness and celebration of differences are important for teen literature and so my vote is Counting by 7's.
