Sorry - if you're the only one who has shelved the book with this genre, you're not going to be able to use it for the task.
please verify Go Tell It on the Mountain as classics I am sure it won't fall off but better safe than sorry thanks

So it is -- I had missed that. However, 25.4 Option 1 called for MPG of "Children's" and the Accelerated Reader Rating for The Goose Girl is
IL: MG+ - BL: 5.9 - AR Pts: 14.0
So I still have a place for this book :)
Can I have Once & Future approved for Retellings, please?Gotta move some things around after starting an unbearably boring book.

The verifications in this thread apply only to the Spring 2020 challenge - they do not carry over to future challenges and genre verifications from the past challenges do not carry forward - verifications are only applicable to the current challenge.
A book need only be verified once in the thread - then it can be used by any participant in the Spring 2020 challenge.
Please do not post task-specific questions here ("is this cover green enough?") and other such questions.
If you are planning to use a book for a genre task and fear that the genre may disappear, post a link to the book in this thread. We will not "lock in" the lack of a childrens or kids genre on the main page.
When you post your book, if the genres have changed, just link to the post in this thread in which it was verified and you'll be good to go.
Because of the volume of verification requests in this thread, I will not be trying to compile any sort of master lists. If the book you are using does not have the required genre at the time of posting, but has been verified in this thread, please link to the post in which it was verified in your completed task posting. If the book you are posting still has the genre on the main page, there is no need to refer to any posts here or in other help threads - if it's there on the main page, you're all set.
