February 2021 Mini Challenges
Don’t make number five harder than it needs to be! In mysteries, I’ve found moons and stars, both in the sky and on other items, easiest to find. Some examples include books by Kay Finch or Heather Blake. For other genres, examples include The Little Prince (stars & asteroids), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (planets), Where the Red Fern Grows (moon), the werewolf series by Vicki Lewis Thompson (moon). These are all examples from my personal bookshelves.
