Eyes on the Prize

Competitions forge winners. Are these contests essentially measuring who’s better at something? Maybe. But the truth is usually more complex. In many cases, things can get too nuanced to make such a bold statement. In others, a competition involves too many subjective evaluations. And very often, luck plays a huge role in the outcome. Regardless, in this quest you must go into the books and analyze your character competitors. How does it change their lives? Keep your eyes on the prize and leave it all out there. You’ve got this.

Add fiction books you've read that feature a competition where there's a prize to be won.
