The expert on your book
On a Plainfield team, each reader picks one or more of the five books and becomes the team’s expert on it. Dig into your own book with Book Trivia, then practice In What Book across all five so the whole team knows every title.

The official list
District 202’s middle school media specialists choose the five books from the twenty nominated for this year’s Rebecca Caudill Young Readers’ Book Award, and every middle school battles on the same five. Each school posts the list and its dates. If the list ever changes, theirs is the one that counts, and we update this page to match.
BookBright is an independent study app. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 or the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers’ Book Award.
Read it once. Remember it on battle day.

In What Book

Book Trivia
Names, places, and the small details from inside each book that are easiest to forget.
Flashcards and weak spots
The books a reader misses come back around, so study time goes where it counts.
