Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Sirius is put into the body of an earth animal and has that creature's life-span to find something that is lost. What's the title of the book?

Answer: 'Dogsbody'

A really moving story AND a cracking sci-fi adventure. I really laughed at the 'hallo' dogs.

2. What are the names of the sisters in 'The Time of the Ghost'?

Answer: Sally, Cart, Imogen and Fenella

Frankie and Jenny feature in 'Wilkins' Tooth' (also known as 'Witch's {Business');} Lucia, Rosa and Angelica feature in 'The Magician's of Caprona' (although they are not all sisters to each {other);} Sophie, Lettie and Martha feature in 'Howl's Moving Castle'.

3. In which book would you find the Nowhere vases, Thomas Lynn and a giant in the supermarket?

Answer: 'Fire and Hemlock'

My favourite DWJ book, inspired by the various legends and poems about Tam Lynn.

4. In which book are Jamie and the other main characters treated like the pieces of a board game by Them?

Answer: 'The Homeward Bounders'

Ever felt you were just a pawn in the game of life? This won't make you feel any better! But it is a fantastic adventure, complete with demon slayers and a whole bunch of parallel worlds.

5. Which of these novels DOESN'T feature the enchanter Chrestomanci?

Answer: 'Castle in the Air'

Chrestomanci can also be found in 'The Lives of Christopher Chant' and the story collection entitled 'Mixed Magics'.

6. When the Goon demands, 'Archer's two thousand' - what two thousand is he referring to?

Answer: words

Archer's Goon is hilariously funny and proves that it pays to increase your word power!

7. Which of these novels ISN'T one of the 'Dalemark Quartet'?

Answer: 'Power of Three'

The missing title of the quartet is 'The Crown of Dalemark'.

8. Which novel features a fire demon called Calcifer, a dog-man, a pair of seven league boots and a young girl enchanted to be an old woman?

Answer: 'Howl's Moving Castle'

Calcifer and the young girl also appear in 'Castle in the Air' - but under very different enchantments.

9. Which book features characters from Norse mythology in human guise?

Answer: 'Eight Days of Luke'

Part of the fun of reading this story is working out who is who - so I won't spoil it for you!

10. Archer, Dillian, Hathaway, Shine, Erskine, Torquil... - who's missing?

Answer: Venturus

Venturus completes the seven siblings from 'Archer's Goon'. Caspar features in 'The Ogre {Downstairs';} Dalzel can be found in 'Castle in the {Air';} and Polaris is in 'Dogsbody'.
