My sixth grade class is enjoying the tournament of favorites we call NOVEL MADNESS! Today we held the semifinal round, where we pitted Maze of Bones, by Rick Riordan, against Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. The other battle was between Lightning Thief, also by Rick Riordan, and Unwanteds, by Lisa McCann. The debates raged, bringing up key points in favor of the debater’s novel and slinging a little dirt on the opposition. It turns out we are a Rick Riordan kind of class.

Tomorrow’s FINAL DEBATE will be:

Maze of Bones vs. Lightning Thief
