Welcome to Oregon Battle of the Books!
The Oregon Battle of the Books, OBOB, is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries in conjunction with a Library Services and Technology Act grant. Students in 3rd-12th grade, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. The mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and to promote cooperative learning and teamwork among students.
This is a program which is run completely by volunteers through the Oregon Association of School Libraries, OASL, and funded partially through the Library Services and Technology Act, LSTA.
This is the official OBOB website.
(The website obob.me is a for-profit site that offers OBOB quizzes and practice questions for a fee. The owner of that site is not affiliated with Oregon Battle of the Books in any way.)
Importance notice about Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell, It appears that Rooftoppers had a printing error (pg. 120 is immediately followed by pg. 153-168). Please double check your copies the misprinted copies we were informed about had the following ISBN: 9781442490598
