Today is World Book Day, so it is only fitting to introduce this year’s Battle of the Books team! Last week, our five delegates made their way to Bialik High School to compete against other QAIS schools. At this event, they tested their knowledge on the twelve novels that were assigned to them earlier in the school year. In the first round, our team came in third place. Congratulations, Luyan “Rachel” W., Juliet M-F., Arabella M-F., Aurélie M-H, and Mateo A.!
