Sorry, Lalitha, this title is shelved as Assignment at BPL and does not have a lexile score. It will not work for the sub-challenge.

Gabe, I'm sorry, but this is listed as YA Assignment at BPL and there is no Lexile, so won't work for Listopia Tag. The good news is that he qualifies for 10.2 July or 10.9 Emily Bronte, so while you lost a few points, we can salvage the post. We'll score it for 10.2 unless you tell us differently.
