As an adult reading (or rereading) children fiction I often find obvious foreshadowing that I missed as a kid. I think it is intentional by authors to introduce concepts such as foreshadowing to young readers, who are not yet used to looking for it while they are reading.
Sha - It would be worth 0.5 points.
Good luck Kerri! I am usually ahead on my reading goal, but I still need to read 20 books before the end of the year. we'll see.
I second:- Nutcracker and Mouse King and the Tale of the Nutcracker
- The Day of the Triffids
- A Doll's House
