Historical genre noted and "Sons" matches. The genre childrens is present- you would need to check Accelerated Reader BookFinder and include the scores.

Excellent book if you like fantasy and don't mind it with a slightly disturbing edge. One of my favorite reads from that year.

Great minds think alike! That's exactly the one I had planned.

Does this mean that I could use One Plus One .. since the word "one" is found in The Loading Zone?
Or would I need to match the word "ZONE" entirely?

If you are using the word Zone, then Zone - matching exactly without variation - must be found in the title, subtitle or author's name.

How about the 5th? Does that have to be 5th or is Fifth acceptable?
I assume that 5 (or five) are NOT acceptable! And similarly, that "merry-go-round" can't be broken up.

Since the target is P.^F.^Sloan the initial P.^ (with a space) or the initial F.^ (with a space) would work. P.D. James does not have a space. P.D. James.
F. Scott Fitzgerald would work.
5th must match exactly and it must appear as 5th in the Goddreads record title. The 5th Horseman. Fifth, 5, five would not work.
"merry-go-round" must be used complete, it can't be broken into parts.
