This is a logic puzzle where we need to match students, book titles, genres, and due dates based on the given clues. Let's solve it step by step.

Clues Recap:

1. The four students are Jordan, the one reading *The Book Thief*, the one reading a Sci-Fi/Fantasy book, and the one with the November 21st due date.
2. Kai is not reading the Non-Fiction book.
3. David's due date is before the due date for the Historical book but after the due date for *Imaginary Borders*.
4. Maggie is reading the Mystery book.
5. Kai's book is due either on November 30th or on December 12th.
6. The Non-Fiction book is *Imaginary Borders*.
7. *In Other Lands* is due before the historical book but after Maggie's book.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### Step 1: Identify the Non-Fiction book
From Clue 6, we know that the Non-Fiction book is *Imaginary Borders*.

#### Step 2: Identify the student reading *The Book Thief*
From Clue 1, one of the students is reading *The Book Thief*. We will keep this in mind as we proceed.

#### Step 3: Identify the student reading the Mystery book
From Clue 4, Maggie is reading the Mystery book. So, we can place Maggie in the Mystery genre row.

#### Step 4: Determine the due date for *Imaginary Borders* (Non-Fiction)
From Clue 3, David's due date is before the due date for the Historical book but after the due date for *Imaginary Borders*. This means *Imaginary Borders* must have an earlier due date than David's book.

#### Step 5: Determine the due date for *In Other Lands*
From Clue 7, *In Other Lands* is due before the historical book but after Maggie's book. This gives us a relative order for these books.

#### Step 6: Analyze the due dates
- From Clue 1, one student has a due date on November 21st.
- From Clue 5, Kai's book is due either on November 30th or December 12th.
- From Clue 3, David's due date is after *Imaginary Borders* but before the Historical book.

Let's start filling in the grid based on these observations.

Filling in the Grid:

#### Clue 1: One student has a due date on November 21st.
- Since *Imaginary Borders* is Non-Fiction, and it must be due before David's book, let's assign *Imaginary Borders* to November 21st. This satisfies Clue 3 (David's due date is after *Imaginary Borders*).

#### Clue 6: The Non-Fiction book is *Imaginary Borders*.
- Place *Imaginary Borders* in the Non-Fiction row and assign it to November 21st.

#### Clue 4: Maggie is reading the Mystery book.
- Place Maggie in the Mystery row.

#### Clue 7: *In Other Lands* is due before the historical book but after Maggie's book.
- Since Maggie's book must be due before *In Other Lands*, and *In Other Lands* must be due before the historical book, we can infer the following order:
- Maggie's book (Mystery) → *In Other Lands* → Historical book.

#### Clue 5: Kai's book is due either on November 30th or December 12th.
- Since *In Other Lands* must be due before the historical book, and David's due date is after *Imaginary Borders* but before the historical book, let's assign *In Other Lands* to November 30th and the historical book to December 5th. This leaves December 12th for Kai's book.

#### Clue 3: David's due date is after *Imaginary Borders* but before the historical book.
- Assign David's book to December 5th.

#### Clue 2: Kai is not reading the Non-Fiction book.
- Since *Imaginary Borders* is Non-Fiction, Kai cannot be reading it. We already assigned *Imaginary Borders* to November 21st, so this clue is satisfied.

#### Clue 1: One student is reading *The Book Thief*.
- From the remaining options, assign *The Book Thief* to Jordan. Since Jordan is not mentioned in any other specific clue, this fits well.

#### Final Assignments:
- November 21st: *Imaginary Borders* (Non-Fiction) → David
- November 30th: *In Other Lands* (Historical) → Jordan
- December 5th: The Diviners (Historical) → David
- December 12th: The Book Thief (Sci-Fi/Fantasy) → Kai

#### Maggie's Book:
- Maggie is reading the Mystery book. The only remaining book is *The Diviners*, which is a Mystery book. Assign *The Diviners* to Maggie.
