Do you like the Pigeon or the Pout Pout Fish? Bad Kitty or Mr. Wolf from the Bad Guys? In this year’s special Character Edition of the 2026 Book Battle, you can visit either the Harnish or the Eastgate library to vote for your favorites as they battle to be named the best.
During week one, you will have 16 opportunities to weigh in on your favorites. Those who win will move on to duke it out in eight matchups in week two, and another round of voting. You do not have to vote in every matchup, but please vote no more than once for each. Does your favorite character have what it takes to go all of the way? Make sure you stop by each week to give them your vote!
