Tournament of the Books Round 3

The NCAA College Basketball Tournament is in full swing and brackets are being busted across the country. Even if you don't participate in watching college basketball throughout the year it is always fun to hear about the inspiring stories of the teams in the tournament and the Cinderella stories of the small schools who win big.

Even the competitors of our own tournament have some interesting stories. 

  • Did you know Jeff Kinney, the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, also created the website Poptropica.com? 
  • Did you know the Junie B. Jones series is banned in some schools because of Junie B's bad manners? 
  • Did you know Suzanne Collins graduated from Indiana University? 
  • Surprisingly S.E. Hinton wrote the majority of the book, The Outsiders, when she was 16 years old. 

After 309 voters...here are our current winners:

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series by Jeff Kinney 128 votes 
Fault in our Stars by John Green  117 votes

Junie B. Jones Series by Barbara Park 130 votes
Fault in our Stars by John Green 101 votes 

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 243 votes
Sideways Stories by Wayside School by Louis Sachar 55 votes 

Wonder by R.J. Palacio 96 votes
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton 156 votes
