"Sandry's Book" by Tamora Pierce Quiz

Answer: Pirisi

Liesa fa Nadlen was one of the girls at the table when Daja and Sandry met. Polyam was the Trader who had lost her leg and Inoulia fa Juzon was Sandry's cousin, both of whom are characters from the third story, "Daja's Book". Pirisi hid Sandry with magic but was killed before she could free Sandry.

Answer: Patience

This is a Trader word. Pirisi, a Trader, was always telling Sandry to have patience.

Answer: Tangled in her plants

Though this is another clue to the reader that Briar had magic with plants, this wasn't when Rosethorn realized Briar had green magic. That occurred the minute Briar entered Discipline and Rosethorn's bean plants wanted to throw their seeds early.

Answer: Briar and Daja

Briar came due to being accused of stealing and carrying knives. Daja got jumped by a number of fellow youths. Tris and Sandry came the day after.

Answer: A wall hanging

When Sandry said she made it, Tris didn't believe her. Because nobility aren't supposed to do actual work, Tris thought that Sandry might have gotten someone else to do the hanging and then took the credit for it. Tris believed nobility did funny things like that.

Answer: A hammer

A fuller top, a hammer with a rounded head, to be exact.

Answer: A strap for a door

It was for a large door that was for the Duke's vault.

Answer: Tomato plants

Briar stole the shakkan tree from Crane's greenhouse because it was sick. Crane, of course, wanted it back but Rosethorn convinced him to take one of her tomato plants in its place.

Answer: 130

Shakkan trees are miniature trees that can live a very long time, with the proper pruning techniques. They are very rare and very expensive.

Answer: 146

When she suggests Briar ask the shakkan tree about its age, Rosethorn implies the shakkan tree can talk to her.

Answer: Red head and arm band

Lark, who once lived with Trader's, understands how important it is for Daja to continue to show she is in mourning, even though she doesn't want to ruin her red clothes in the forge. Lark made red head and arm bands for Daja to wear. On the other side of the coin, Tris is amazemed and disgusted that Traders mourn in red.

She thinks it is barbaric, not realizing that different cultures have different traditions, and one culture's tradition is no more right or wrong than another's.

Answer: Rats under the bed

Briar refuses to sleep in bed because his bed is "too high up. What if there are rats under it? They'll chew through the leather straps holding it up and they'll get me when I fall." Briar doesn't like bathing but he's not afraid of drowning. He doesn't appear to have any fear of getting lost and, if anything, he's afraid of eating too little.

Answer: House cleaning

She also teaches Sandry at the same time.

Answer: Bite the toes of merchants

Slug was another boy in Briar's gang. Brair tells Tris this to scare her.

Answer: People who make things

This is the Trader word for a craftsman, someone who makes something to sell.

Answer: Green Tunic

Green Tunic, the leader of this little group, and five of his friends were being mean to the puppy that would eventually be adopted and called Little Bear by the young mages.

Answer: Tris

Sandry learned from her nurse Pirisi and Briar learned from his life in Sotat. Tris never had a need nor desire to learn.

Answer: False

Though it may be taken that way by some, Discipline, the cottage, is meant to be a place of self discipline and learning.

Answer: Silver

The four metals that were part of Frostpine's exercise were copper, gold, tin and bronze (a mixture of tin and copper).

Answer: Tris will teach Briar to read, if he teaches her to fight

Yes, that was the bargain that made at the end of the book. As it turned out, he taught her a lot more than how to fight, including how to pick locks.
