5.1 - Geometry
Read a book with a word for a geometric shape from in the title or subtitle. Plurals and possessives work, but no other variations. ex. Under the Dome, The Square of Revenge, Sphere of Influence, Murder at the Pentagon, The Kite Runner

"pyramid" and "prism" alone work

"equilateral" works as a shape as it is identified in the dictionary as "noun: a figure having all its sides equal."

If the link doesn't work, try this

No. The general rule for the challenge is that series titles are not allowed unless they are specifically stated to be allowed. "Subtitle" refers to the words following a : in the title, series titles are found in parentheses after the title.

This task was a lot harder than I thought it would be, for some reason.

The Cricket in Times Square has genre Children's on the main page

Books must have a BL of 5.0 (or higher) AND AR Pts of 7.0 (or higher) or for one 5 point task a BL of at least 5.0 OR AR Pts of at least 5.0

Both scores are below a 5. This book may not be used for SRC tasks

Melissa (balletbookworm) | 915 comments Hiya, would Equilateral work for this task? Equilateral is on the list but paired with triangle (this is a novel about some crazy idea to build a giant equilateral triangle in the desert in Northern Africa and LIGHT IT ON FIRE so the Martians would see it and know intelligent life existed on Earth - this apparently actually happened) so I wasn't sure if that didn't have enough of the phrase or not. Thanks!

Since the dictionary says "equilateral" is "noun: a figure having all its sides equal." it fulfills the task requirement of "a word for a geometric shape". Please include that it was approved in the help thread when you post
