After months of reading, taking notes, memorizing titles and authors, the first round of battles, then the second…Mirah and her team, Girls 4 Ever, were in the 3/4th grade Semi Finals of this year’s Cascade Elementary Battle of the books. They were one of the top four teams, and they were amazing!

Here they are in their semi final battle:

When they would talk about what they thought the books were they would get so close together so fast I thought that they were going to bonk heads!

They won!

Putting them in the final round!

The finals was an all boys team called Book Street Boys. 🙂

It was a dramatic Round! Mimi, their spokesman, got a bloody nose right in the middle!!

In the end they lost their last battle, but who cares, because they got 2nd place!!!

SOOOOOOOOO SO proud of them.
