Geocache Description:


This cache is 1 of  8  caches that are a part of the 2013 Battle of the Books Cache series- the 5th grade class at Colebrook Elementary School along with the Colebrook Recreation Department took part in the first of hopefully many Battle of the Books. 

In March each student in the class was given a bracket similar to one that March Madness fans fill out but this bracket was set up with 8 different books, 2 in each region.  The students were divided up among the brackets and they each got a copy of the two books in the bracket.  After reading the books they voted on their favorite book of the two.  The book with the most votes went on to the next round.  The battle lasted for 3 rounds until we had a winner.  In June we declared a winner but we are not going to spoil it you have to visit the recreation blog at http://colebrookrecreation.weebly.com to find out the winning book.

As part of this battle of the books we created 8 Geocaches each one named after one of the books. The students put various things in the caches that made them think of parts of the book. We have also placed a copy of each book in the cache, you are more than welcome to take the book and read it. When you are done pass it along, return it to the cache or mail it back to us.  Either way we hope you enjoy it.
