Lindsay Currie will shake up the 2025 Tournament
Battle of the Books welcomes Lindsay Currie as the featured author for the 2025 battle season. Currie is the New York Times best-selling author of Scritch Scratch, the Delta Games series, and The Mystery of Locked Rooms. Our readers will get to hear how Currie creates spooky tales that make you shiver and shake. Scritch Scratch won the Young People’s Literature Award in 2020 and was a choice for many state reading lists. Kirkus Reviews says Scritch Scratch offers the “just-right blend of history and spooky.”
