I have a page with text on it that I can't highlight, therefore I can't delete it. This was probably created with special page break. There are two pages beside it that were also created with special page break as well and I seem to be able to do anything I want with those pages. How do I delete the Page 27?

Are you seriously creating a book just with Sibelius?

You're in for interesting times if you are! The accepted way is to create music examples etc in Sibelius and then export them to a program that's better suited to creating your book. But it's up to you..... :)

As for your problem, hard to say what the issue is from a screengrab. Need to see the sib file itself and you can't attach that here. You could always try the official Sibelius chat page, where you can attach files, and you'll no doubt get a quick reply.

This is the second book I've done only with Sibelius. I have a third one that is finished, but I'm still doing some final edits.

You've made life hard for yourself!

For your next book, please do consider the alternatives.

Ha, ha! It's really not that hard. Most of what I've done are individual pages that I've written for students in Sibelius and I connected the pages with a few blank text pages, occasionally importing text pages... Really not as complicated as it seems. I just can't seem to outsmart page 27.

I fixed it. Move the text and images that I could to another page. Deleted all the "Special Pages" and then made new "Special Pages." I don't know why I couldn't remove the text or the page, but I worked around the problem.
