[aisle] Battle of the Books - Pandemic Style -- Need Ideas!

[Karrie Fisher]

Thank you to everyone for your description of how you hold your Battle of
the Books.

In the end, I had to split the game into two.  I now have a fourth grade
game on one day, and the fifth grade is on a different day.  Not ideal, but
it works!


Happily Ever After,
