If you can find a book with characters with heterochromia (their eyes are different colors (or each eye has different colors within the same iris). You could count a character with hazel eyes (green, blue, brown in one eye) or a character who has different flecks in their eyes.
• ✔ 6.Pandemonium Day: July 14th is a day of chaos (strange thing to celebrate). It could also be a day where the unexpected happens.
