Option 1: Read a book from the listopia Quests or Long Journey on Foot. I read The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, from page 1 (item #6) on the Quests list. AR bookfinder has the IL for this book listed as UG.
Option 6: Read a book where the author's first and last initials are found in CLASSIC ROCK. I read The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Soji Shimada.
