You need to add a public method, named toString(), to the class that returns a String. Use the annotation @Override above the method definition. Inside the method you only have a return statement that returns the desired string. To create the string use concatenation with the + symbol and use mTitle and mAuthor to add their values at appropriate places in the string.
