Step 1: Find a word in the word search puzzle above. To use the interactive word find puzzle, follow the link above. To highlight words, use your mouse to click on the first letter, and then on the last letter of the word.
Step 2: For each word found, read a book with that word in the title. You may use singular or plural versions of the word. The word may be contained as a subset of a larger word (e.g. Deal for The Death Dealer or Rebellion for Rebel Wing) or a different tense of the root word (Drowning for Drowned Wednesday).
Hint: The hidden words are more common in Mystery books - but any genre may be used for this challenge.
