# Battle of the Books (state reading programs) reading list

**10** books referenced by Battle of the Books (state reading programs), a reading-program curriculum framework spanning applicable K-12 grade levels.

Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading-competition program run in many US elementary, middle, and high schools, where student teams read from an official annual book list and answer recall questions in a quiz-bowl format. Lists are set at the state level (for example, by the North Carolina School Library Media Association's Elementary, Middle, and High School divisions), so the titles are state-specific and refreshed each year.
