Probably the toughest of the series so far. Got caught on March Hare for the tea party. Had to re-read the clue before I saw 'invited.'

Same here. I thought March Hare would have worked.

While I appreciate the nod to modernity and diversity, isn't Malala autobiographical nonfiction and therefore not literature?
