Battle of the books

Accept the challenge and take part in the competition!

Let the Battle begin!

For almost 15 years, the "Battle of the Books" competition at Amerikahaus Nürnberg has been a popular and highly anticipated event: middle and high school students compete in teams against other schools from all over Bavaria to demonstrate their English reading comprehension skills.

"The Battle of the Books" is an exciting opportunity for students to develop their affinity to books and to learn their way around English literature. The competition is demanding, but also a lot of fun for all!
