Student teams from Nipher Middle School in Kirkwood and Hixson Middle School in Webster Groves recently competed in the annual area-wide âMiddle School Book Battleâ at Pattonville Heights Middle School.
Teams of students from 24 area schools came together virtually for this yearâs competition on May 5. Nipherâs team took first place and Hixsonâs team came in third.
The âMiddle School Book Battleâ gives middle school students the opportunity to meet and discuss current books of interest. The committee creates a list of 20 books that includes a variety of genres and reading levels. The committee also develops questions for each book that are formatted so each answer is the title and author of a book on the list.Â
