Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What month is it when the book starts?

Answer: April

A lovely time of year!

2. What does Sneezle give the dryad in exchange for the elder sticks?

Answer: A story

The dryad says she doesn't think there are any stories she doesn't know, but Sneezle tells her about how (in "The Winter Child") he and Twig and Chick escaped Malagan's evil tower and journeyed home.

3. What makes the little stick men leave Sneezle alone?

Answer: The rain

The rain melts the stick men, but then they come back to life.

4. What is the name of Rowan's dog?

Answer: She doesn't have one

Rowan has a black cat, Dinah, but no dog. The whole time Sneezle was in Spring Cottage, Dinah tried to catch him. All the faeries were terrified of her, but she really only wanted to play.

5. What does Sneezle first smell when he (riding inside the book bag) enters Spring Cottage?

Answer: Baking bread

Rowan's mother is the one who's making bread.

6. What do King Mustapha and Queen Glorinda's "knights" use as swords?

Answer: Bottlebrushes

The knights bring Sneezle to their ruler, King Mustapha the Mad, who sits in a bathtub all day. Queen Glorinda the Glorious is furious when Sneezle says he's from a place with different rulers, so she has him thrown out the door for his insolence.

7. What is Billy Blind's house on top of?

Answer: A wardrobe

Billy leads Sneezle up some curtains, around the walls on a narrow strip of wainscoting to Billy's house, which is Rowan's old dollhouse.

8. What (other than a meal) does Billy give to Sneezle before he leaves?

Answer: His ancestral sword

Billy's sword is called Courage, and, he says, it's been in his family for years. Nevertheless, Billy is kind, and he loans Courage to Sneezle while the young root-faery goes to find Aurora.

9. What color is the faery/doll that Sneezle fixes the hand of?

Answer: Violet

The poor faery's hand came off, and Sneezle feels sorry for her. He doesn't have any glue to put it back on with, so he binds it up with his favorite scarf.

10. What other names does Aurora say she is called?

Answer: Dawn and Hope

When Sneezle asks her name, Aurora says, "I'm called Aurora. And also Dawn, and Hope, among other things."

11. What, other than a glass vial and a book of spells, does the Old One pull out of the pocket in his coat and then give to Sneezle?

Answer: A mortar and pestle

Some other things that the Old One pulls out of his pockets but does NOT give Sneezle are: nuts and bolts, an apple, a light bulb, an "oddly shaped tool," and a dainty glass slipper.

12. What books are on the shelf in Rowan's bedroom?

Answer: All of these

There are several more faery books as well.

13. What does Sneezle do with the green powder, so that he can make Rowan see him?

Answer: Puts it in her drink

The Old One had told Sneezle to sprinkle it on Rowan's eyelids while she slept, but since there were boggarts zooming around in Rowan's bedroom, she couldn't sleep. Sneezle put a pinch inside Rowan's glass of water instead.

14. Is a boggart under Rowan's bed?

Answer: No

It was really a tiny, tiny faery with huge brown eyes, and it was trebling like a leaf, having been afraid of the boggarts.

15. Whose door does Sneezle knock on at the end of the book?

Answer: The dryad's

And then Sneezle tells the old dryad his newest story.
