#LiteraryMarchMadness 2018: Which Character Will Be the Champion?
Welcome to our Fifth Annual Literary March Madness (#LiteraryMarchMadness)! This is a bracket-style tournament like the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament, but with a bookish twist: our competition pits popular literary characters against each other and the winner is decided by you! We went to the drawing board, and these sixteen characters will make their plays through four rounds. Who will cut down the literary net? Your votes will decide, and the character will be crowned the 2018 Literary March Madness champion.
