How do I format font size inside an class, inside a media query?

For some reason the browser isn't accepting the font size command. It keeps asking me if I'm sure I have the font size correct.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
    .main-header {
      background: tomato;
      color: white;
 }

  @media (max-width: 768px) {
    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }

    h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
  }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

Hey Andrew,

You have all the properties and selectors set up correctly, but you are missing an en ending curly brace after your first media query. You should have two ending curly braces: one for the selector and one for the media query.

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
    .main-header {
      background: tomato;
      color: white;
 }
/* Added ending curly brace */
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }

    h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
  }
