2022 March Book Madness
March Book Madness is a bracket-style tournament that matches books in one-on-one "games." Games will be decided by a simple vote on a Google Form. After each round of voting the bracket will be updated and the next round of voting will begin. Each book revolves around the theme of "turning points." The final round will be held near the actual NCAA Division I Basketball Championship game.
About: We will participating in the tournament developed by two teachers in Central Ohio. Students, classrooms and libraries all over the country will be participating.
Do I need to read the books? No - but you may just be inspired to read them. A short preview of each book will be provided. You simply vote for which book interests you the most. Look on the Lobo Library's Instagram and web site for the previews of each book during the match up week. Books will also be featured in issues of Off the Shelf.
Where & When can I vote? Voting links will be posted on the Lobo Library web site & Instagram. Voting will start March 2. Voting weeks are Wednesday through Tuesday for each match up.
Book Recommendations
Book Recommendation: Fiction
Briar Rose, Jane Yolen
A historically sensitive retelling of Sleeping Beauty set amid forests patrolled by the German army during World War II
Ever since she was a child, Rebecca has been enchanted by her grandmother Gemma's stories about Briar Rose. But a promise Rebecca makes to her dying grandmother will lead her on a remarkable journey to uncover the truth of Gemma's astonishing claim: I am Briar Rose. A journey that will lead her to unspeakable brutality and horror. But also to redemption and hope.
Book Recommendation: Non-Fiction
Somewhere There is Still a Sun, Michael Gruenbaum
At Terezin, Misha roomed with forty other boys who became like brothers to him. Life in Terezin was a bizarre, surreal balance—some days were filled with friendship and soccer matches, while others brought mortal terror as the boys waited to hear the names on each new list of who was being sent “to the East.”
Those trains were going to Auschwitz. When the day came that his family’s name appeared on a transport list, their survival called for a miracle—one that tied Michael’s fate to a carefully sewn teddy bear, and to his mother’s unshakeable determination to keep her children safe.
