When tasks are ready to be posted, we set up a help thread for every task.

If you click on the heading "Task Help Winter 2011" you will see that there are 3 pages of posts in the thread. They are typically sorted by how recently something was posted in the thread.

If you click on "Topics," it will sort the posts by numbers - note, though, that it's in order of the actual NUMERAL - so 10 point tasks come first, since "1" comes before "5".

Thank you for the link. Guess I'm getting tired.

Another young reader question: is Matilda by Roald Dahl considered a young reader book? I'll have to put it on hold at the library, so I don't have a copy in front of me to check.

[Ms.soule]

Update: I got Matilda on CD from the library - it's 5.5 hrs long. Long enough to count for the SRC?

For audio books, the rule is the same for ebooks with a print edition:
use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardback edition.

I can't find the folder to put a book review for Winter 2011 Earth Challenge to have it judged for the best review. Where is it??? I must be blind, but I don't see it. Thank you

But is Matilda considered a young reader book? I'm really hoping I can use it for the movie task (25.5), cuz I spent the last 3 days listening to it and it was seriously bad. Good to know I hate Dahl's books as an adult as much as I hated his movies as a kid.

It's marginal, but we'll take it.

Can A Little Princess by Frances Hodgsen Burnett be used toward a 30 point task? While I'm asking...what about Night by Elie Wiesel?
Thanks!

Hi, Is The Story of Doctor Dolittle: Being the History of His Peculiar Life at Home and Astonishing Adventures in Foreign Parts an easy reader? Thanks!

[Kathy G.]

I was wondering if you could put a line on the Readerboard between the early finishers and the rest. I was just curious how many 25 pointers there would be then.

[Kathy G.]

Thank you--- looks great!!!

In general, the linked editions would be allowable unless specifically excluded in the help thread by the task creators. To be safe you should check at the help thread as task creators make the determination
