As a general rule books are only classified into one basic genre category - for example if a book falls into the historical fiction category it won't be listed as a novel as well; on the same basis a book may have both mystery and thriller characteristics but will be listed as one or the other.
Books for children and teens are cross-referenced by time period, setting and theme but not to the other genres - in other words you will not find a match for Children's Book + Novel, because the novels category only lists titles for adults.

We have not checked each combination rigorously! If you find a result which seems wrong to you, please let us know.
