Yes as long as it meets src guidelines for manga AND it has the genre children's on it's main page so make sure you follow src guidelines using AR bookfinder to get the il designation info

Any book that has "childrens" or "kids" listed as a genre on its main page MUST be validated in the following manner:
a) The book MUST be found on AR BookFinder and/or AR BookFinder UK. ISBNs may be entered.
b) Books with an Interest Level (IL) designation of LG are NOT allowed for points in the SRC. The AR BookFinder UK equivalent for LG is LY.
c) Books that have an IL designation of MG+ or UG may be used with no restrictions (other than general SRC and specific task requirements). The AR BookFinder UK equivalent for UG is UY. However, you must state the IL designation when you post the book.
d) Books that have an IL designation of MG MUST ALSO have a BL of 5.0 (or higher) AND AR Pts of 7.0 (or higher). The AR BookFinder UK equivalent for MG is MY.

All AR Bookfinder information including scores MUST be posted when the book is claimed for points or no points will be awarded (You can copy the AR BookFinder ratings)
ex. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
IL: MG - BL: 7.3 - AR Pts: 17.0
e) If a book is clearly an adult book, but has "childrens" or "kids" listed as a main page genre and is not listed on AR Bookfinder, you may ask for it to be verified as an adult book in Not Kids Verification You must include that the book has been verified as having a special exception by including the post number or google document line approval when you post in Completed Tasks.

Yes that would work for A-3 or B-3......it does have children's as a main page genre so make sure you check AR book finder (link below) to ensure the book meets SRC rules:

c) Books that have an IL designation of MG+ or UG may be used with no restrictions (other than general SRC and specific task requirements). The AR BookFinder UK equivalent for UG is UY. However, you must state the IL designation when you post the book.
d) Books that have an IL designation of MG MUST ALSO have a BL of 5.0 (or higher) AND AR Pts of 7.0 (or higher). The AR BookFinder UK equivalent for MG is MY.

ETA: M & M has some new flavors by the way :) We just got them in at work this week Honey Nut, Coffee Nut, and Chili Nut. I love just about all flavors of M&Ms too EXCEPT the crispy ones(YUCK)

Nicole | 1295 comments Thanks Robin- I had no idea it wasn't ya and it's not even in arbookfind so I either won't be counting it or I'll use it for 5.10.

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) Bianca wrote: "Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton. Sorry linked to the title not tbe cover."

Sorry I am going to have to say no to this one because I can't see any obvious facial or body features to say that it is a female.


message 84: by Bianca (new)

Bianca Rose (biancarose) | 245 comments No worries. That was the reason I checked. I was concerned that I couldn't see her face. No trouble, I will look for another option. Thanks!

Ana | 410 comments I have a question about a book on the blue list. #297 on page three is the German version of Sapphire Blue (Precious Stone Trilogy, #2) by Kerstin Gier . Can I use this book?


Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) Ana wrote: "I have a question about a book on the blue list. #297 on page three is the German version of Sapphire Blue (Precious Stone Trilogy, #2) by Kerstin Gier. Can I use this book?"

Yes, you may use that book.......In the FAQ's thread this is the SRC rule pertaining to your question.

I. If a task requires me to read a book on a list, do I have to read the exact format or edition that’s on the list? For the Group Reads books, do I have to read the exact format or edition linked in the task?
No. When you have to read a book from a list, or for a Group Reads, you can read any format (audiobook, ebook, paperback, hardback) and any edition you choose. If the entry on a list is a box set, you cannot substitute an individual book from the set, and if the book on the list is in a series, you cannot substitute a different book in the series.

It probably will NOT work ... because it is non-fiction, and the task creator specified that all books must be fiction.


Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) Sorry I am so late responding Cindy I have been a bit under the weather and wasn't able to be get online, but Book Concierge is correct...it will not work because it is Non-Fiction.
