"Novel Ties" Wins
Battle Of Books

The "Novel Ties," a Southfield
community team, tied for first
place in the Southfield Public Li-
brary's "Middle School Battle of
the Books." Team members rep-
resented three different schools.
Dena Pichette, Chaya Weinhouse
and DeDe Jacobs attend 7th grade
at the Sally Allan Alexander Bais
Yaakov School for Girls; Ethan
Cohen and Jonathan Feldman are
sixth-graders at Akiva, and Ben-
jamin Pichette is a Yeshiva Beth
Yehudah sixth-grader. The team
was coached by Barbara Pichette
and Donna Feldman.
"Novel" Ties tied the competi-
tion with Best Sellers from Bir-
ney Middle School and Readers
Inc. from Levey Middle School.

Twenty-two teams participated.
Southfield Library began hav-
ing a battle for fourth- and fifth-
grade students 18 years ago. Be-
cause of participant requests, a
middle-school contest was start-
ed nine years ago.
This year, 54 teams partici-
pated in the fourth- and fifth-
grade battle.
Both battles are open to South-
field residents or students at-
tending school in Southfield.
Seven different books are select-
ed by libraries for each battle.
Teams are quizzed on details of
each book. First-place team mem-
bers have their names engraved
on a plaque in the Southfield Li-
brary. ❑
