Sorry, Task 10.3 can't be used for combos. You could post this book to 10.3 with a combo to 20.7, but since 10.3 is different for everyone, we don't count it as a combo to other tasks.

You put +15 combo, but I only see two other tasks (10.1, 20.2) you are claiming as combos. I've scored this as +10, but let me know if it fits another task.

I think we're matched up now through 375. Let me know if it still seems off.

This book is classified as YA at Brooklyn Public Library, and has a Lexile score of 640, so it doesn't qualify for style points. You still get the 20 task points, just not the +5 combo. (See the FAQ for more: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)
