“Most of the Duffy students said they had each read more than 40 books since the beginning of the school year to prepare for the competition, where each four-member team will answer 10 literature-related trivia questions per round for 10 rounds. Although their favorite authors and genres might differ, the Duffy participants all share a passion for books.� Julie Stagis Hartford Courant Jan. 25, 2013
