The 10th Annual Literary Reaping

Register here

Travel through District 12, to the ruins of apocalyptic Chicago, then all the way to 1980s Iran to test your YA Literature knowledge!

Show off your fabulous memory of all things related to teen literature! For this event, you’ll be placed in teams to answer trivia questions, and complete challenges based on young adult literature—both classic and contemporary. In the past, participants were asked to shoot an arrow as straight as Katniss, prove a knowledge of the gods that rivals Percy and Magnus, demonstrate a knowledge of the small science to rival a Heartrender, and decide on the perfect spell faster than a magical maji. Wands, arrows, and other materials will be provided. All participating teens will win a brand new book to take home and keep.

May the odds be ever in your favor…
