Would Adventures of Tom Sawyer be okay?

You need to look at the genres listed on the main page of the book - if adventure is there, that's a start. If "childrens" is also there, you'll need to check it on the AR site, according to the rules on childrens books. See Rules of the Challenge

[Cynthia (Bingeing On Books)]

will do. thanks

[Cynthia (Bingeing On Books)]

Thanks for the clarification. Looks like it won't fit under the children's book rules. I did find another book though and it looks like that one will work: Scarlet

Can I have Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian verified as a satisfactory choice?

Cynthia wrote: "Thanks for the clarification. Looks like it won't fit under the children's book rules. I did find another book though and it looks like that one will work: Scarlet"

yes, it will work, assuming you're planning to read the "real" Tom Sawyer - I just looked it up -
IL: MG+ - BL: 8.1 - AR Pts: 12.0

Since it's MG+, it doesn't matter about the other numbers, but they're high enough as well.

When you look up a classic book like this, make sure you're looking at the correct edition. I noticed that for Tom Sawyer, there were a lot of books by other people, seemed to be little kid versions of it or of some parts of it.

Adventure genre noted.

This would work for 20.7, too!

[Fiona (Titch)]

:D Can't decide where I want to put it now lol.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I also have Surviving Home by the same author, so if I put Going Home for 20.7, I can read Surviving Home for this task?

Fiona (Titch) wrote: "I also have Surviving Home by the same author, so if I put Going Home for 20.7, I can read Surviving Home for this task?"

actually, both books work for either task, since 20.7 allows the use of series titles! And both have adventure as a genre. You're covered all across the board!

[Fiona (Titch)]

wahoooooooo thank god for Netgalley ;) x
