Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: A telescope

Susie tells the children that her mother said the telescope HAS TO be shared with her, and her friend Binkie. The children agree to let her use it, but they still won't let her join their meeting.

Answer: Under a flat stone by the shed

After Susie leaves, the Secret Seven have fun looking through the telescope over the garden wall. Janet says it's as if she has magic eyes! Janet and Peter's mum warns them that it's getting late and it's cold so they had better think of putting the telescope away. They lock it in the shed and hide the key.

Answer: Susie saw two men running across a roof and one of them fell off

Looking through the telescope, Susie pretends to see a man come out of a window onto a nearby rooftop, being chased by another man. She says one of the men has fallen off the roof. When Peter runs off to get help, Susie and Binkie can't help but laugh! Peter is not amused.

Answer: They see some burned twigs from a small fire, which is still warm

Janet is looking through the telescope at the jackdaws in the castle. She sees a person hiding there. The Secret Seven go to investigate - Susie and Binkie are NOT welcome. When they arrive, there is a small fire which has recently been stamped out and is still warm.

5. The castle is very old and there is a sign saying the steps down to the dungeon are dangerous and access is forbidden. What happens when Pam is standing by the dungeon steps?

Answer: They children hear strange, spooky noises and bangs and run away

The children enjoy their lunch at the castle and Pam finds the steps down to the dungeon. The children then hear a strange voice that seems to be coming from the dungeon, calling "ooooo-ooohh". Then they hear some loud bangs and decide to get on their bikes and leave as soon as possible.

Answer: A woman who was sitting outside, painting a picture of the castle

Susie and Binkie caught the bus up to the castle before the Secret Seven arrived. Susie says the dungeon was safe and someone probably made the "danger" sign to keep people from going down there. She spoke to a lady outside who was painting a picture of the castle.

She kept her painting things in the dungeon - Susie saw all the pictures. Susie told the woman what the silly Secret Seven thought they had seen through their telescope.

Answer: Susie was so angry at not being believed, she forgot to lock the shed

Susie and Binkie see some lights up at the castle. The woman they spoke to said she didn't sleep there at night. It looks like someone is signalling. They run to tell Peter who doesn't believe them. Susie is so mad that she puts the telescope back in the shed but forgets to lock the door, leaving the key in the lock. The next day the telescope has gone.

Answer: Lots and lots of stolen paintings

The Secret Seven decide that their telescope must have been stolen by the people up at the castle, as Susie had told them about it and they didn't want anyone spying on them. The boys go to the castle and try to find the paintings that Susie saw in the dungeon, as well as their telescope.

At first they explore the dungeon but there's nothing there. Underneath a big pile of twigs they find lots of old paintings without their frames, all rolled up.

Answer: An alarm clock rings, waking the sleeping person, who goes to the door and stars signalling

The woman Susie saw is asleep by the fire. The woman's alarm clock goes off! She goes to the door and starts signalling to someone. Peter worries that the girls will think it's his signal.

10. The boys decide to make a run for it, but Peter trips and they are all caught. Things look very bad for Peter, Colin, George and Jack. But look - someone is coming to the rescue! Who is it?

Answer: Good old Scamper!

The woman and some men catch the boys and lock them in the dungeon when they find that the paintings are missing! Scamper, who was told to stay at home, has followed their scent right to the castle. He races in, growling fiercely and scaring the bad guys off for a while, then stands guard until Peter's dad arrives with some of his men to deal with the thieves, taking them to the police.

Unfortunately, the telescope was never found (the thieves threw it in the river), but Jack plans to buy a brand new one with his share of the reward money!
