Thick: And Other Essays are nonfiction essays written by an educator. Does that make it appropriate for Professor Plum or is this challenge only for fiction stories?

If you read the description, it talks about the main character of the book, so that means it's for fiction..

Got it! I was pretty sure that's what it meant. Thanks so much!
