Challenge of the Books is a contest for Wyoming Middle School students who love to read.  The list of 12 books used for this competition is derived from the Wyoming Library Association 2017-18, Soaring Eagle and Indian Paintbrush nominee lists.  The intent of this program is to encourage students to read from these specific book lists and to engage in a fun competition.
