Mrs. Rombach loves a little hoop action. Who doesn’t stare wide-eyed when a player swishes that silent, sinking, nothing-but-net ball?

Well, March Madness is in full gear–on and off the basketball court.  Fifth grade teacher Mark Jones, from Columbus, Ohio, started March Book Madness last year–and it’s spread across the globe in just 12 months. Wondering who besides Eagle Ridge’s awesome sixth graders might be participating? Click here to see Mr. Jones’s map.

In true March Madness fashion, it’s all about the brackets. Every week, we’ll be voting on which Middle Grade books to move forward. We’ll take part in crowning the champion! I’ve inserted the bracket so you can scout out the competition. Whether you’ve read the competing books or not, we need your vote! Scroll down to see my “collage players”. Then, beginning March 4, take the poll to determine which books move on. Come back every week–the competition is bound to heat up. This could be one for the history books (or the romance books, or the mystery books, or the dystopian books, or the adventure books, or the…you get the idea!). Now head to the library and practice your mad reading skills. 🙂
