I am so not gonna make my 24 hours in the #24in48! 😂 But that‘s ok, I‘ll keep going. Starting this middle grade selection in this year‘s #oregonbattleofthebooks competition. An afternoon of lounging on the patio reading is always a win. #obob #obob2019 @24in48

#OregonBattleoftheBooks2018

When Erik‘s parents are called to Iraq he must leave his home in upstate New York for his grandparents‘ home in North Dakota. Erik hardly remembers his grandparents, and in his unhappiness he soon decides to run away taking a rifle and a hunting dog with him.

How long can Erik survive on his own, and what will his family do without him?

Serotonin My sister is also doing battle of the books with her class. I forget which book she‘s reading now 🤔 and I saw it on the table the other day too... 7y
Dogearedcopy We did #OBOB for four years! In our school district, the competition is fierce (two days of intramural competitions to determine school‘s representative team!) I‘m sad though that at the high school level there‘s little interest or support 😔 7y
ReadingEnvy I swear I know the adult version of the kid on the cover 😁 7y
BookInMyHands @Dogearedcopy @Serotonin I love hearing about people participating in OBOB! I serve on the executive committee as the Finance Chair, and on the title selection committee too. 7y
BookInMyHands @ReadingEnvy I love it when that happens! 7y

Exciting and fast-paced read! Can see why it was on the Oregon Battle of the Books list from last year! Already put the second one on hold. Hopefully, it's audio is just as good.

I loved this story! Heartbreaking and violent but such a strong female protagonist. An interesting look inside a cult experience. #oregonbattleofthebooks #obob

I just love our Battle of the Books program! But after 4 intense months of organizing school, regional, and state tournaments, I am looking forward to a break! Soon I'll join other volunteers in starting work on next year's program...until then it's an #obob vacation for me!

BookInMyHands Not yet for me, I'm paying the bills today 😊 8y
swishandflick Love it! I loved participating in Battle of the Books in NC growing up 😄 8y
Onceuponatime @BookInMyHands Yes, not quite over for you! 😉 8y
Onceuponatime @swishandflick I love that there are programs in other states...if only there was a national competition! 8y
