Battle of the Books, BOB, is a reading incentive program for students in middle school. Students form teams, read books and come together to demonstrate their abilities and test their knowledge of the books they have read. The competitions are similar in style to the TV series Family Feud, but the structure and format of the competitions may vary depending on the needs, resources and personal preferences at various school sites or at the regional/state competition levels.

Anyone who reads a book is a winner, BOB just takes the recall of detailed information to another level. Students compete to answer the most questions in the format, "in which book?" based on a slate of pre-determined books.
