The second round of Canada's annual battle of the books (March 9, 2021) was both intense and passionate as the contending panellists went head-to-head on why their book is the "one book to transport us."
Moderated by host Ali Hassan, the panellists assessed the writing and style of the contending books and discussed the literary themes of accessibility, agency and emotional complexity — with the ensuing debates leading to a suspenseful final vote.
