Non-fiction would be okay & Japan is okay as an island. The only question I guess is if the setting is Japan. It really is your judgement about whether Japan is the setting i.e. if most of the experiences that are described in the book take place in Japan/islands. The setting doesn't really have to have anything to do with the book. So it looks good to me since you feel like it is set in Japan.

The title would work with 'prince' as a prefix title...but the problem is that the book has 'children's' listed in the main genre page.

I followed the standard guidelines for my task for 'children's' books so it would need to be 300+ pages. The Prince Caspian mass market paperbacks, hardbacks and other paperbacks all seem to be under that. So unless your paperback/hardcover copy is 300+ pages it won't work.

Sorry. It looks like it would work for task 25.10 option 3 or option 1 depending on pg#s of your copy. Also 5.6 might work for it.
