District media specialists created this quiz-type competition for fifth grade students in 2001 to promote reading. Schools select teams of up to six students to represent their school. Students read and study nine books with a school sponsor. During competition, students use the titles of each book to answer questions. Each team competes twice against randomly-drawn opponents. Scores from the two rounds are tallied and the two highest scoring teams compete in the final round. Eight teams competed in the event.
