Throughout the school year, a group of students have been reading books off a list so that they

may compete in a competition of their knowledge on the books. This competition is called Battle

of the Books. Each school may have one team consisting of twelve team members, two

alternates, and three coaches. The team members here are Emma Amaglo, Paige Azzarita,

Nickie Edoh, Meagan Gutheil, Mia McCall, Anne Spong, Sierra Taylor, Taylor Taylor, Jordan

Williams. The coaches here at Page are the librarians Ms. DeLellis and Ms. Kunka. Our team at

Page attended this competition on March 11 th . Some of the books on this year’s list were We

Were Liars by E. Lockhart, The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen, Uglies by Scott Westerfield,

and Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. After a long day of answering book related questions,

the Page team received fourth place out of fourteen teams. When the captain, senior Jordan

Williams, was asked about what she enjoyed most about Battle of the Books she said, “I

enjoyed reading a lot of books I wouldn’t pick up otherwise of course, but I really loved the

familial setting.” Jordan also said that she participated in this competition because she loved

being with people who loved reading as much as she did and that she enjoyed growing close

with them. If you are an avid reader and are interested in joining this club next year, contact the

librarians for more information.
