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!

A Garden full of Nights of Good Reading
My pick this year delights me for the appeal I feel it would have for the wide range of readers I teach. It kept me up at night as leaves rustled outside my window and black pages stared me down from my bedside table. It was creepy, exciting and full of twists and turns my students would enjoy. Without hesitation I vote for The Night Gardener as my Mighty Smackdown pick. My very strong honorable mention goes to Nazi Hunters.
