Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the beginning of the book, what creatures are Newel and Doren trying to acquire gold from?

Answer: Nipsies

Nipsies are very tiny, only half an inch tall, so they can't fight the satyrs. They would never dream of getting anything from centaurs!

2. Which of these is a challenge Gavin has?

Answer: Stuttering

He is certainly not bashful; he was bold enough to ask the Captain of the Knights about his identity.

3. Originally, three people entered Painted Mesa to try to retrieve the hidden artifact. Which obstacle caused them to retreat?

Answer: The dragon

The first time, there were no warriors. 'Fire room' is just something I made up. The dragon attacks them so fast, killing Zach and crippling Javier.

Answer: She pretends to not be interested.

Kendra knows how to get Seth to talk. She pretends to read as Seth debates if he should tell her, then he breaks. He tells her about nipsies, then asks if he should tell if it will get him in trouble. Kendra yells to her grandfather that Seth has a secret about the nipsies.

5. According to Vanessa, why is Fablehaven under attack?

Answer: The Sphinx no longer has use for the preserve, so he is destroying it.

Vanessa says that once the Sphinx has accomplished what he wants in a certain place, he destroys the evidence then burns down the neighborhood. Graulas tells Seth that Kurisock, a demon, gains power.

6. Counting both attempts, how many people perish trying to retrieve the artifact in Painted Mesa?

Answer: three

Zach dies the first time, Tammy and Neil are killed the second time.

7. According to Graulas, the dying demon, why couldn't Tanu find the nail talisman?

Answer: It had buried itself underground.

Even though Tanu searched for hours, his search was in vain. The nail had already buried itself.

8. One Sunday morning, the people must dodge hundreds of traps the brownies had set up. How do the kids get past the attic staircase?

Answer: Seth pushed the rocking horse down it.

It certainly would be much easier if they had the gaseous potion. Warren helps the kids and grandparents down the second staircase.

9. Seth insults the centaurs in order to convince them to join the first "battle", or the diversion.

Answer: True

Seth says he is braver than they are. He also calls them ponies.

10. Who is the traitor at Lost Mesa who steals the fake artifact?

Answer: Javier

Somehow, even in a wheelchair, he is able to take the box the fake artifact is in, slash the tires of the jeep, and still get away before anyone realizes the box was stolen! It is possible that Tammy is also a traitor, but since she dies trying to help get the artifact we never find out.

11. Who tells Kendra that she is the Fairy Queen's handmaiden?

Answer: The fairies at the house where the Knight's meeting is.

Those fairies are much more friendly to Kendra than the ones at Fablehaven. Patton could tell she is Fairykind, but he never uses the term "handmaiden".

12. Which of these is NOT a fact about Patton Burgess?

Answer: He met a unicorn.

He never mentions a unicorn. He used dragonsbane to poison the evil dragon in Painted Mesa. Ephria is a former hamadryad who gave up immortality because she fell in love with Patton's uncle. Sadly, their marriage did not last. To make a long story short, she bargained with a demon to get her immortality back, and became evil.

13. How does Kendra influence Lena to talk to her about the artifact Patton hid?

Answer: She shows her a picture of Patton.

The photo touches Lena just enough to get her to talk, but not to exit the lake.

14. What are the first dark creatures that attack the humans?

Answer: Fairies

Seth sees dark nipsies first, but they are too tiny and have no magic to attack with.

15. What happens to the Lost Mesa preserve?

Answer: It gets destoryed.

Sadly, this preserve does not get saved. Only Hal and Mara survive.
