Adventure on Main Page ? Thanks

yep!

Would Adventures of Tom Sawyer be okay?

Cynthia wrote: "Would Adventures of Tom Sawyer be okay?"

You need to look at the genres listed on the main page of the book - if adventure is there, that's a start. If "childrens" is also there, you'll need to check it on the AR site, according to the rules on childrens books. See Rules of the Challenge

will do. thanks

Thanks for the clarification. Looks like it won't fit under the children's book rules. I did find another book though and it looks like that one will work: Scarlet

Can I have Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian verified as a satisfactory choice?

Cynthia wrote: "Thanks for the clarification. Looks like it won't fit under the children's book rules. I did find another book though and it looks like that one will work: Scarlet"

yes, it will work, assuming you're planning to read the "real" Tom Sawyer - I just looked it up -
IL: MG+ - BL: 8.1 - AR Pts: 12.0

Since it's MG+, it doesn't matter about the other numbers, but they're high enough as well.

When you look up a classic book like this, make sure you're looking at the correct edition. I noticed that for Tom Sawyer, there were a lot of books by other people, seemed to be little kid versions of it or of some parts of it.

yes, that works - adventure as main page genre.

Can I have Going Home - A. American (Adventure > Survival)

Fiona (Titch) wrote: "Can I have Going Home - A. American (Adventure > Survival)"

Adventure genre noted.

This would work for 20.7, too!

:D Can't decide where I want to put it now lol.

I also have Surviving Home by the same author, so if I put Going Home for 20.7, I can read Surviving Home for this task?

Fiona (Titch) wrote: "I also have Surviving Home by the same author, so if I put Going Home for 20.7, I can read Surviving Home for this task?"

actually, both books work for either task, since 20.7 allows the use of series titles! And both have adventure as a genre. You're covered all across the board!

wahoooooooo thank god for Netgalley ;) x
