15.4. Double Trouble
Since "summer" has a repeated letter in it, read
A. A book the title/subtitle of which contains a word with a double vowel. The vowel must be repeated immediately in the word, not just somewhere in the word. Example: Cartwheel - double "e."
AND
B. A book the title/subtitle of which contains a word with a double consonant, repeated immediately in the word. Example: Innocent Traitor - double "n"

OR
Read one book that meets the criteria for A and B - title contains a word with a repeated vowel and one with a repeated consonant. Example: Tapping the Dream Tree (double "p" in Tapping, double "e" in Tree).
