Battle of the Kids Books

Last year was my first time participating in School Library Journal's Battle of the Kids Books.
This year I'm so excited to start reading this round up of best books from 2012 and trying to guess which wonderful book will win.  The brackets below show which books will go against each other.  Visit the website and you'll be able to meet the judges and hear from the peanut gallery.  We have some of the books (Wonder, Titanic, Temple Grandin, and The One and Only Ivan) in the Bandelier Library, some are meant for much older kids and others can be found at the public library.  So far, I've read half of the list.  I love them.  I love them for all different reasons and I would not want to be a judge who had to decide which was the winner.  If you're looking for something to do this month, start reading!  I'll let you know my guesses once I've finished the list.
