Tournament of Champions
Tournament of Champions | Phil Bildner
3 posts | 1 to read
It's spring of their fifth-grade year and Rip and Red have a thrilling opportunity to participate in a weekend basketball tournament with a few other members of Clifton United. While the tournament is only a short bus ride away, both boys will travel outside their comfort zones. Ultra-competitive Rip must play on a team with kids he doesn't like. But he faces an even bigger hurdle when someone from his past returns, someone he hasn't seen in years, someone who just may derail the entire weekend. As for Red, because of his autism spectrum disorder, he's never traveled anywhere without his mother. Will he muster the courage to take the trip? Fortunately for both boys, also on the team is an unlikely addition, a source of inspiration who helps everyone discover the true meaning of the word champion. Tournament of Champions is the third book in Phil Bildner's Rip and Red series.

I love the Tournament of Books. I love that someone before me had the idea to tag this book for a blurb about the ToB. And on this gray overcast day I love the mug that just arrived.

Suet624 @Graciouswarriorprincess It‘s so bright! A lovely thing to wake up with. 😀 5y
BarbaraBB Great great mug! I‘m afraid I won‘t have time to read all books but I‘ll follow your thoughts! 5y

The short list and zombie poll are out!!! https://themorningnews.org/article/the-2018-tournament-of-books-shortlist-and-ju...

I‘m excited about this year‘s list. I‘ve only read 5 of them so I have 13 to go! Time to get to the library. #TOB2018

Bloomingjen I don't understand the Zombie Poll. It includes all of the shortlist titles but I am supposed to vote to bring one back? What? 6y
mklong @Bloomingjen Yeah, it‘s kind weird. You vote for your favorite shortlisted title in the Zombie Poll. The winner gets to come back in the the Zombie round after it gets knocked out of the tournament. It will make more sense once the Tournament gets going. 6y
Bloomingjen oooohhh. thanks! i have psuedo followed this tourney in previous years but not that closely. I mostly just check out the books. 6y
