In today's Saturday World Play, we look at book titles with three words (excluding "of" or "the"). Taking it a step further, because it is a magic number you know, the number of letters in each title is divisible by three.
I've given you the author name, as well as the number of letters in the title. Can you use the given groups of three letters to figure out the title?
As always, feel free to do all ten at home, but only answer one in the comment section to allow nine more people to play along. *If you're stuck, pay attention to the letters that have been eliminated by other players.

Grade 11 English -- loved this book!
Gypsysmom: Excellent- so glad you got that one!
Wanda: It's one of my wife's favourites, too.
This one is beyond my, I'm afraid. It's because the easy ones are already taken. Yeah that's it.
