Congratulations, Inepto Pueros!

With the No-Majs coming in a close second, Team Inepto Puero declared themselves children’s literature champions and walked away with the coveted Golden Bunny trophies at this year’s ECC Extreme Trivia Challenge. The winning team also took home signed copies of P.S. I Still Love You and some serious bragging rights.

Held at Scholastic headquarters on Wednesday, November 4, this year’s Trivia Challenge was attended by more than 40 children’s book enthusiasts from a variety of houses. Six teams furiously competed through three rounds of regular trivia and two rounds of Quick Like a Bunny speed trivia before the top two contenders faced off in the Jeopardy round. This year’s Jeopardy categories included the perennially popular Book Meets Book category; Spotted in New York, about books set in NYC; and To All the Books I’ve Loved Before, about epistolary titles.

The evening was emceed by the talented and delightful Jenny Han, author of New York Times bestsellers To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and the sequel, P.S. I Still Love You. Jenny, a trivia enthusiast herself, cheered the contestants on and even added a few of her own bonus trivia questions.

Thank you to everyone who came out to participate in this challenge. And a special thanks to our wonderful host, Jenny Han!
