Mallory Allen Wins March Book Madness!
March Book Madness has come to an end, and the book that ruled them all is Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird! Mallory Allen had the winning bracket for Marinette, scoring 115 points—also besting the top winners in Manitowoc and Sheboygan. Other winners in Marinette included Lillian Sellen (2nd), Erin Mahnke (3rd), Sierra Pugh (4th), and Keith Rose and Abigail Marquart (tied for 5th). View the final bracket and the leaderboards here.
Cheryl Charon, Marinette campus Library Services Assistant, says she’ll get the winners their prizes as soon as campus reopens.
Set in rural Alabama during the Great Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird details the trial of Tom Robinson, a young Black man unjustly accused of raping a white woman. The story is told through the eyes of eight-year-old Scout Finch, whose father Atticus tries to help right the wrong done to Robinson by serving as his lawyer. In addition to being UW-Green Bay’s top read, this powerhouse work was named America’s Best Loved Novel in PBS’s The Great American Read poll in 2018.
