Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Fill in the missing word on the sign hanging in front of Mo's workshop: "Some books should be ______, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and thoroughly digested."

Answer: Tasted

When Meggie was little, she used to climb up on a box to read the spindly, old-fashioned lettering until she knew it by heart.

2. What is Meggie's favorite flower?

Answer: Poppy

She likes them because they press well between the pages of a book, and because you can stamp a star-shaped pattern with the seed capsules. When Mo makes Meggie's book box, he paints it a bright, poppy red.

3. What color is Elinor's station wagon?

Answer: Gray

Once Elinor wore everything gray: "A mouse-gray sweater and an ash-gray skirt, with a pearl necklace around her short neck and felt slippers on her feet."

4. Where does Mo always keep the picture of Meggie's mother?

Answer: Under his pillow

Meggie finds it after Mo is taken by Basta the first time.

5. What exclamation does Meggie think Elinor says a lot?

Answer: "Heavens above!"

Elinor says this when she is angry, which is often.

6. What kind of dogs does Basta have with him when he takes Dustfinger, Elinor, and Meggie to Capricorn's village?

Answer: German shepherds

After Basta and Flatnose are bound and gagged inside the abandoned house, Dustfinger sets the dogs free. They never go back to Capricorn's village--probably because Basta beats them.

7. When Mo was a boy, he read what out of "Tom Sawyer"?

Answer: A dead cat

Mo was with a childhood friend when this happened. The dead cat came out of "Tom Sawyer," and stuffed toy went into it. Mo and his friend swore a blood oath never to tell anyone about it.

8. When Mo is reading out treasure for Capricorn, who is he afraid will appear?

Answer: Long John Silver

What Mo does is slur Long John's name every time he says it, hoping that this will prevent him from coming out of the book. What DOES come out is gold coins, a green lizard, some beetles, and a little bit of sand.

9. What was Mo's pet name for Meggie when she was little?

Answer: All of these

Sometimes he still calls her Tinker Bell.

10. Who feeds Basta's dogs cheese, to dull their noses?

Answer: Dustfinger

Dustfinger has done this many times, but Capricorn doesn't believe Basta when he tries to warn him.

11. What color is the drawstring on Basta's amulet bag?

Answer: Red

Basta is extremely superstitious, and he's afraid of every bad omen from black cats to ladders. He wears both an old rabbit's foot and an amulet, which Dustfinger steals when Basta is tied up in the abandoned house.

12. Does Mo sleep the best on his left side?

Answer: Yes

Mo was having trouble sleeping because the dog bite was on his left arm.

13. What kind of animal does Fenoglio's face remind Meggie of?

Answer: A turtle

Fenoglio's face is "wrinkled like a turtle's, but his hair is black without a trace of gray (Meggie finds out later that he dyes it)."

14. Which of Fenoglio's grandchildren hurt their head?

Answer: Pippo

Pippo also picked all the chocolate chips out of the cake, and whenever he hides it's inside the cupboard.

15. When Meggie and Mo are at his house, Fenoglio serves pasta with what herb for dinner on the first night?

Answer: Sage

Pippo and Rico pick out the sage leaves because they hate the bitterness of them, but Meggie and Paula like the flavor.
