This got entered in the database before it had a YA designation, so is grandfathered in for use with styles. I've noted it as a combo with 10.5 Inferno, but if you see anything else, let us know.

I'm very sorry, Lalitha. This is a YA Assignment at BPL with a lexile of 760 and does not qualify for Listopia Tag. I don't immediately see another place it will fit, but perhaps you had it in your possession before May 15, in which case you can score it there. Let us know.

I'm sorry, Rebekah, 20.4 Piano Teacher is for a debut novel, so a nonfiction title won't work for the combo.

This title isn't shelved at BPL, so the lexile rule does not apply. I have added it for 20.6 combo. Let us know if you see another task.
