What is the most EPIC part of lit?These battles will take place over the next few weeks, and before, the end of January we will know the ULTIMATE CHAMPION is. Not only will you know who the best Lit character is, you'll also have figured out most of the course, I guarantee it! Sooo, let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!
