4.25(a - my and author name = 12) The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
(b - age minus name 27-12 = 15 = title) A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
(c - age times name 27*12 = 324+-25 = pages) The Devouring (#1) by Simon Holt (208 pgs) + Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (141 pgs) = (349 pages)
--> this means that i cannot have Fahrenheit 451 for task 4.10 (sorry about the redistribution)
