The Battle of the Books Begins!

We have our team and we have our books.  Now we are going to read and read and read! We are also going to practice asking and answering trivia questions until we know the details of each book inside and out.  In the spring, we hope to travel to the mainland to compete against other international schools in the annual Battle of the Books.

Dashel Pearl offered words to his kids from the day they were born.  A man who loved language almost as much as color or taste or air, he explained to his daughter, Early, that words are everywhere and for everyone... "They're for choosing, admiring, keeping, giving.  They are treasures of inestimable value."
