Hiya there! In order to understand RDBMS especially SQL, you need to be aware of clauses and their functionalities, Now regarding your challenge, looks like you need to SELECT every column(or specific column since its not clear from your question ) FROM books table WHERE genre is fantasy, and ORDER BY genre(ASC will be default) and LIMIT is 5. Well i dropped the massive hint in this answer , which i hope will be enough to get you over the passing line. Good luck!
