“Vote for Me!” quaver our contenders. “Please.”
As The Battle of the Kids’ Books follows a single-elimination model, once a book is knocked off, it has to stay in the metaphorical Land of the Dead, until the final two are left standing, facing each other off.
However, there is hope yet, for one of the previously eliminated title to come back from the Dead. You, yes, you, alone and together, hold the power of a necromancer – by voting for your favorite title.
Click on the Undead Poll link on the sidebar and cast your vote! The book that receives the most votes that is not one of the two finalists will rise from the Underworld and see the glorious light of the Final Round.
Judge Paterson will read all three titles with equal care to each and make her final decision on April 5th.
The Undead Poll opens today and will close on March 14th. The result will remain secret until the end of March. One vote per person, please!
