5.9 - Gin Rummy

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

5.9 - Gin Rummy Read a book with a word from this list of cocktails in its title/subtitle. If the name of the cocktail contains more than one word, only one of the words must appear in the title/subtitle, but the words "a," "an," "and", "in," "my," "on," and "the" cannot be used. Words must match exactly.

REQUIRED: State the name of the cocktail.

For example--Blackbird is in the title and the cocktail is black velvet

I'm going to say no to this one. From the reviews and the "look inside" on amazon, this appears to fit within the early elementary school book category.

Sandy, true. My 7th old son is reading this book now so I thought to give a try. Will look for something else. Thank you
