Enter the Diadem, Books 1-3 Trivia Quiz

This is a quiz based on the first three books of John Peel's "Diadem" series: "Book of Names", "Book of Signs", and "Book of Magic." I read these books as a kid and I thought I'd make a quiz about them.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. All three kids learn that they had certain magical abilities even before they entered the Diadem. What is Helaine's innate magical ability?

Answer: the power to see danger coming

Helaine became such a great fighter on her home world of Ordin because she could see attacks coming. Levitation is an ability she gains by using her sapphire. Transfiguration is Score's innate ability and the power to figure things out is Pixel's.

2. Which animal is not represented by one of the Beastials that saves the kids from the Shadows?

Answer: Wolf

S'hee is the Orca-Beastial that saves Score. Rahn is the Leopard-Beastial that saves Helaine. Hakar is the Hawk-Beastial that saves Pixel.

3. Which of these is not one of the fake names that Oracle gives?

Answer: Cerola

Oracle doesn't give them his real name in order to teach them a lesson about how dangerous it is to give out your real name. The three realize that his true name must be a different form of those six letters combined and later Pixel realizes his name is Oracle.

4. All three kids have recurring dreams about their quest. Whose dream is realized in the first book, "Book of Names?"

Answer: Helaine

Helaine's dream is about the Book of Magic which they find in Aranak's library in the first book. Score's dream about the tune that the Triad sings and Pixel's dream about the wheel of gems (the Diadem analog) are seen in the third book.

5. How do the three manage to avoid being controlled by Aranak?

Answer: he doesn't know their true names

In "Book of Names," appropriately, the three learn that you can start to control a person by knowing their true name. Luckily, the names they give Aranak are Score, Renald, and Pixel, none of which are their true names. Score's name is Matt. Renald's is Helaine. Pixel's is Shalar.

6. Which is not a place where they find one of the pages?

Answer: in their jail cell on Treen

They also find a page in the Book of Magic. Shanara gives them one and Score has one that his mother left him.

7. Which of these is NOT a characteristic of Oracle? Remember, this is just the first three books.

Answer: he appears only when called

He appears whenever he wants, even though they can call upon him. He is not real because he is actually a spell. Because magic is being warped in the Diadem, the spell that created him went wrong and he is forced to only speak in riddles and rhymes. He is able to speak normally again when the three fix the Diadem analog.

8. What four gemstones does Score have?

Answer: Jasper, Chrysolite, Emerald, and Amethyst

Jasper has the power of sight, Chrysolite has the power to control water, Emerald had the power of transfiguration, and Amethyst can change the size of something.

9. Which of her companions on Rawn does Helaine take with her to fight the wyrm?

Answer: Rothar

Rothar hates humans because they killed his sister so he spends most of the journey away from the kids. Helaine realizes that he cannot possibly be Shanara in disguise because she would want to spend more time with the three to learn as much as she could about them. Helaine is right because it is Amaris who turns out to be Shanara in disguise.

10. Which of these wizards do the three kids not defeat?

Answer: Shanara

They do not defeat Shanara because they never have to fight her. When she realizes that the kids are not trying to kill her, they actually become good friends.

11. Which unicorn does Pixel bond with?

Answer: Nova

Thunder is the unicorn herd leader that bonds with Score. Flame is Thunder and Nova's child who bonds with Helaine. We don't even meet Smoke until book 7 where he bonds with Jenna.

12. On Dondar, the three face monsters comprised of the different elements. Which gemstone do they use to defeat the monster made of fire?

Answer: Beryl

Score tries to use the chrysolite, which has power over water, to put out the fire but it has no effect. Pixel than realizes that fire cannot burn without oxygen. He uses his beryl, with the power over air, to change all the oxygen around the creature into carbon dioxide.

13. Which is not a message that is found on the pages?

Answer: find a unicorn horn

The Triad were the ones who left the pages for the kids and they wouldn't have wanted them to have a unicorn horn. Unicorn horns negate magic and by having one, the kids are able to defeat both Sarman and the Triad.

14. Helaine is to Eremin as Score is to?

Answer: Traxis

The Triad knew that Sarman was going to defeat them so they were reborn as the three kids. Eremin is the member of the Triad who was reborn as Helaine. Therefore, Score is Traxis reborn. Nantor is Pixel reborn and Thunder is the unicorn that Score bonds with.

15. On the Diadem analog each planet is represented by a gemstone. Which three gems represent Earth, Ordin, and Calomir?

Answer: Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby

Sarman needs to put the souls of the three into the gems of their home planets in order for the Diadem analog to work. The gems that represent their home planets also happen to be the first gem that each of them gets. Their dreams also foretold which gem would represent their planets.

In their dreams, they each see a color: Score is green for emerald, Helaine is blue for sapphire, and Pixel is red for ruby.
