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!

Ghost Boys vs The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle
This will be a short blog from us this time. Both Katrina and I read Ghost Boys and The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle last year. Mason Buttle reminded us of the book, All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook by Leslie Connor and we both found Perry T. Cook to be a more interesting read than Mason Buttle, which at times I found to be a bit boring in comparison. I booked talked both books in my classroom. Our vote is going to the book we couldn't keep on our shelves and the book we both saw our students enjoy the most - Ghost Boys. (Hillcrest)

So funny! I feel just the opposite - Mason is way better than Perry!
