At one point I searched for the book worth the most points in our system, and it was Les Miserables, at around 125 points. That was more than twice the value of any other book and enough points for the whole year with a good score on the test. So I went out and got the full unabridged hardcover version - a stupidly massive and ponderous tome for a 5th grader - and I didn't even make it past the opening digression to where the plot actually starts. I then picked up a little abridged version, breezed through it, and easily passed the simple multiple-choice test. Looking back, there was really no reason for that book to be in there.
