Lovelace Middle School has four students, who are each reading a different book and finish at different times. These four students are Annie, Samantha, Aaniya, and Trent. Their last names are Lee, Zhang, Smith, and Singh (not respectively). They are either reading Catch-22, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, 1984, or One Hundred Years of Solitude. Determine the correct full names of each student, which book they were reading, and the order they finished their books, based on the following clues:

 

1) Trent, who did not finish first or last, has the shortest last name.

2) Aaniya loves large numbers. The number in her book title is greater than sixty-seven.

3) Annie finished before Trent. Aaniya, who did not finish last, finished after Trent.

4) The student with last name Lee read Catch-22, while the student with the last name Smith read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

5) Zhang's first name has the same number of letters as her book title does words.
