Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program for students in middle school. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read good books and have fun while competing with peers. Students form grade-level teams with up to 5 members. All teams read the same list of 10 books, which are selected from the current year's Iowa Teen Award and Iowa Children's Choice Award nominees. Each grade has a school-level competition, and the winning teams of the school-level competitions advance to a district-level competition with Jefferson, Roosevelt and Mazzuchelli.
