One Book Assumption

Stephen King's "Eyes of the Dragon" , defended by Ms. Torto, has been declared the one book everyone at Assumption should read after six teachers waged a hotly contested debate to convince two student audiences that their book was the best. The voting was close. Mr. Hare received the same number of votes but many people wrote "Attack on Titan" on their ballots after he tried to convince them that it was a better book than the 5th Wave --- the novel he was supposed to defend. In the end, it was an entertaining way to spend lunch. Everyone is invited to check out all of the titles in the ACS Library Learning Commons.

The Book Battle happened on March 8, 2016 and was hosted by Josh Turner. Here’s the line-up:

Officer Scott Gibson defending “I am Malala” by by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb

Mrs. Brady-Puskas promoting “The Reason You Walk” by Wab Kinew

Mrs. Lynne-Davies defending “Anne of Green Gables” by Lucy Maud Montgomery.

Ms. Torto defending “The Eyes of the Dragon” by Stephen King

Mr. Dunlop defending “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams.

Mr. Hare defending the student choice: “The Fifth Wave” by Rick Yancy.
