What is BOB? 

Battle of the Books (BOB) is a regional competition in which students work in teams to read and study a set of 8 novels over the course of the school year. They will then participate in tournaments to demonstrate their knowledge of the books, first at the building level, followed by finalists moving on to the district, then regional, and finally superregional levels.
