Rebecca, I answered that it was long enough to qualify for posting, but it doesn't work for 20.8 which must also be the mystery genre. Let us know which of your 2 combos you want to use for this book.

Norma, this doesn't work for 20.9 Series because there are only 2 books and it doesn't look as if it will be continued. But all is not lost.
Post 781: The Secret Sister was published in 2015, so counts for 10.4.
Post 782: The Secrets She Kept - I noticed BPL has a subject as families and their summary indicates a grandfather. Could this (and 781?) count for 20.10 family?

It may be that she wasn't checking BPL for every title. We started using the database in Spring 2012 and that is when we started to retain Lexile scores. Every title is checked. There have been a few titles where we have been able to remove low Lexiles and once removed, they stay that way. I'm always happy to check. I did check this one just now and it's still a YA Assignment with a Lexile of 570.
