25.1 Susan A's Task: Long, Longer, Longest


Choose an option.
Required: State the option.

Option 1: This is a two book task. Read one book from each option.

Book 1:
Read a book with a title of 3 or more words. Each word in the title must contain more letters than the preceding word. Ignore subtitles.

Example:
The Good Daughter (3, 4, 8)
The Captain's Daughter (3, 8, 9)

- Words with a hyphen will be considered one word. Count all of the letters on both sides of the hyphen. Do not count the hyphen. Example: check-in = 7 letters
- Titles with &(ampersand) do not work for this task.
- Titles with numerals do not work for this task. Numbers written out as words are fine
Example: 1st to Die will not work
The Nine Tailors will work
- Words with a hashtag - ignore the hashtag, count the letters
- Words with an apostrophe - ignore the apostrophe, count the letters on both sides of the apostrophe

Book 2:
Read a book in which every number in the page count is greater than the number preceding it. (Page counts containing the number zero do not work for this task.)
Required: State the page count

Examples:
This works
Wreck the Halls 368 pages
This DOES NOT work
Merry Christmas Cupid 270 pages (0 is less than 7)

OR

Option 2:
Read one book with a minimum of 567 pages that satisfies both requirements.
Required: State the page count

Just a quick one for book 1. Can the first word be "A"? For example A Fatal Footnote?

Thanks.
