Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Fill in the blank to complete Monkey's two rules in life: "Never eat _______ foods before you go to bed," and "Never get caught between two feuding dragons."

Answer: Fried

Monkey says that even he breaks the first rule, but he always thought he could keep the second.

2. What colors are Monkey, Shimmer, and Indigo when they turn themselves into horses?

Answer: Monkey is golden, Shimmer is grayish-blue, and Indigo is black

Monkey transforms himself into "what he thought was a handsome golden horse," Shimmer turns herself into a grayish-blue horse (Monkey guesses this is as close as she can get to green), and Shimmer turns Indigo into a black horse.

Answer: Dawn

The little girl, Dawn, also gives Shimmer a lump of slightly grimy sugar. Shimmer, always superior, says that she must have just had an eye for beauty.

4. What is the name of the main street in Ramsgate?

Answer: Diamond Way

This was probably named after Prince Diamond.

5. While on the Boneless King's war galley, who said that the fire was an illusion and to just ignore it?

Answer: Horn

Horn, becoming just a little too sure of himself after the dragons' illusion of the terrifying creatures from the bottom of the sea, insisted that the fire was just another illusion. But it wasn't.

Answer: "Me? With my temper?"

Unused to love, Shimmer jerks her paw away from Indigo as if Indigo had suddenly turned into a red-hot coal.

Answer: Guppy

After that, the chef was much more cooperative.

Answer: Ruby

She also wears a helmet of blue spikes. Monkey can also see himself, wearing a clean robe and his tiger skin, whirling his staff over his head so that the golden rings form a blurred circle.

Answer: Like she's stabbing Shimmer in the heart

Indigo, knowing that it might kill Shimmer, almost doesn't help her hold up the pearl. But she knows how much Shimmer wants to save her clan, and she does it after all.

Answer: That he's curious about the wood

Monkey says, "I...uh...knew that. I was just curious about the wood. It's oak, I think." And Wort replies, "I wouldn't know, sir. I've never seen a tree."

Answer: Yes

Monkey says that when Shimmer is his servant, he'll make her lose her scales and take on some handsome fur.

12. Who causes the Boneless King to fall through the hole leading to "before time"?

Answer: Pomfret

Pomfret, finally seeing the Boneless King for what he is, fights to get up from his place on the floor. Then he looks down at his sister for the last time, tears falling from his eyes, and lunges at the Boneless King. As both of them fall through, Snowgoose howls, then leaps up and catches onto Pomfret's tail. All three, man, dragon, and dog, fall through the hole.

As they disappear, the Boneless King screams-and Monkey says that the memory of its hatred will stay with him forever.

13. After the final battle with the Boneless King, Indigo goes to scavenge in his kitchen. What is the one item that she finds?

Answer: A half-rotten apple

Indigo cuts off the rotten half with her dagger, then shares the good part with Monkey.

14. Who had left the baby Thorn at Knobby's inn in Amity?

Answer: The Old Boy

The Old Boy, Monkey's master, had found Thorn and his dying mother in the woods. He could do nothing for the Queen, but he took Thorn and left him in Amity. He had also meant to leave a sack of gold with the boy, but he forgot.

15. When he says goodbye to Shimmer, Monkey kisses her on both cheeks and says what?

Answer: "Let's have a fishing contest again, Cousin."

Monkey has to leave because the King of the Golden Seas is coming, and he'll want his staff back. Monkey hugs Thorn and Indigo, then kisses Shimmer on both cheeks. And as he flies away, he knows he'll be back.
