What is Battle of the Books?

Battle of the Books is a reading program designed to encourage students to read a diverse selection of books (see the list below) and engage in friendly competition. At the end of the school year participants will compete in a tournament with other Hong Kong schools, answering questions about the books' content. Battle of the Books aims to foster a love for reading, improve literacy skills, promote teamwork among students, and ensure that reading is fun!
