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!

That's As Close As We Can Get And Still Declare The Winner!
It always fills my withered heart with joy when the three finalists of Smackdown are all so worthy of attention and an audience. You all may not completely agree but I found the finalists to be all MIGHTY contenders. May is a time when ships go down metaphorically speaking. Many of our most eager bloggers and readers are spinning away right now in a distant universe. We had a few schools who did not vote - yet so many of you who took time to come up with criteria and pick a winner. This year's winner was put over the top with just ONE vote. Dragon Hoops wins again (life and art right?) by one. Final scores: 21 Dragons 20 Furia 13 Cranes. Thanks to all our participants who got to see first hand that book choice needs to be the real winner in any battle!

This being my first year with Smackdown, this was such a fantastic experience! Thanks so much to Dia and her team for not only taking on the organization side of things (a tremendous undertaking that baffles my mind) but also keeping the steam going with enthusiasm. I can't wait until next year!!
