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!

Hmm... this is tougher than I thought it would be
Can I just say that it's all been said? Out of all the amazing books in the Smackdown this year, I feel that we do not have the top 3 to vote for. However, rather than dwelling on those that should still be here (Eleanor & Park! Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock!) I will say that each of the remaining three have something to offer readers, adult and youth alike. That makes me happy. And of the three remaining titles, I must go with The One and Only Ivan. It's a heart vote. While Bomb was interesting and Counting by 7s uplifting, Ivan is memorable. That being said, do I think it will win? Who knows at this point with so many votes left to be cast, but it would be cool to see the zombie pick take first place.
