If you are a sports fan, then you know that March Madness is upon us. The basketball tournament is wrapping up tonight. This year's tournament featured a lot of upsets and close games, and now it is down to the final two teams: Gonzaga and Baylor. Who will win?! More importantly, who will win this year's Book Madness tournament?
The Book Madness tournament takes the top 64 circulating titles of 2020 in the Arrowhead Library System and pits them against each other. The books follow the same path as the basketball bracket, so we were left with two 1 seeds, one 2 seed, and one 11 seed for our final four books. After tonight's basketball game, we will know which book can claim victory: Dog Man or The Night Fire.
