The Teen Advisory Board partnered with sponsor Levenger for the successful, fifth-annual event. The reading-incentive program for ages 13 to 17 also serves as a community-service project because the youths create their own questions to prepare for the ‘battle’ and use them to help members of their team. At the end of the program, they compile all the questions and put them in a packet that other librarians, schools and teen centers can use. This year, the two teams read three books: Wonder, The Unnaturalists and Hallowed Ones.
