Book Battle

On May 10th the Book Battle Team from Hazelwood North Middle competed in the Area Wide Book Battle at Pattonville Heights Middle School.
This is the team right before boarding the bus for the field trip.

This is the gym with the teams assembled for the competition.

Heather Brewer, author of the Vladimir Tod books spoke to the group.

She is sporting purple hair this year.

James Dashner, author of the Maze Runner, also spoke to the group.

North finished at the bottom of the leader board, but in the top half of all the schools.

After the competition we lunched at McDonalds.

The students seem to think that this was the best part.  But, I believe they will remember the books they read for a long long time.
