The 2011 Battle of the Books Reading List

The books for this year's event were selected primarily from the 2010 Lone Star Reading List (http://www.txla.org/groups/lone-star).  However, several of the books on this list also appeared on the 2010 Tayshas Reading List (for high school students).  In an effort to ensure that the reading list is age-appropriate, titles that appeared on both the Lone Star and the Tayshas reading lists were removed and replaced with another selection.
