An
underdog story takes the win. Many members of the team found Mason
a captivating character with charm to spare. Others commented on his resilience
and the eclectic mix of characters that were developed throughout the
story. There were some votes for Good Enough as the theme of being not "good enough" was something that many readers could identify with. However, there were questions about the character development and whether the topic of eating disorders would appeal to only a select group of
readers. So... drum roll please.... our group (Kym, Cathy, Andrea,
Amanda, Shelley, Gail, Linda, Colin and Maureen) although divided in our pick,
chose Mason Buttle as the winner of this battle.
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!
