Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Shimmer first goes into Amity, Thorn is claiming to have seen what kind of magical animal?

Answer: Unicorn

The villagers at the well are trying to get Thorn to tell them about how he saw the unicorn-not that they believe him. Stones are thrown at him, and when she sees how Thorn bears the pain and is still kindhearted, Shimmer says without thinking, "Yes, there's still a touch of a unicorn's light to him." When the villagers hear her say this, they turn on her as a new target for stones and cruel words.

2. When Civet sends the paper warrior to kill Thorn, what kind of weapon does Knobby come into the kitchen with?

Answer: A crossbow

Knobby (a fat, bowlegged man, as Shimmer describes him), comes into the kitchen with a candle and a crossbow. He says, "Stop where you are. I'm a deadly shot with this, the champion of four districts." Shimmer doubts this, however, since Knobby had forgotten even to pull back the crossbow string.

3. When Shimmer and Thorn are going into the Keeper's dense, sinister forest, Shimmer says that they'll need to put on disguises. What two things does Thorn ask to have for his disguise?

Answer: Big muscles and a sword

But Shimmer doesn't want to frighten Civet off, so instead, Thorn gets bowlegs and thin, sallow arms.

4. When the Keeper - wanting the pearl - chases Shimmer and Thorn, what kind of pet is he riding on?

Answer: A wasp/deer/crane

The Keeper has many pets, all made of different pieces of animals.

5. When they're stranded on the salt floor of the Lost Sea, what does Shimmer use to shield Thorn from the blowing wind and stinging salt?

Answer: Her body

Shimmer (confused and irritated at her affection) can't bear to see Thorn shivering on the ground, so she uses the side of her body and her wing to protect him from the blowing salt. Just before Thorn wakes up, though, Shimmer crawls back to her original place.

Answer: True

Shimmer says, "All right. But on your back, mind you, not in front like some pet puppy."

7. At the gates of River Glen, Shimmer and Thorn meet Monkey. Fill in the blank to complete Monkey's title: "The Great ______ Equal to Heaven."

Answer: Sage

Monkey made up his title himself, of course.

8. Where did Monkey say that he'd seen Thorn's face before?

Answer: He couldn't remember where

Thorn is eager to know who his parents are, but then he's let down when Monkey doesn't remember where he saw Thorn's face before.

9. What is Civet disguised as when she enters River Glen to flood it?

Answer: An old woman

Civet is disguised as an old woman who's taking water to use with her master's ink. Monkey, always the trickster, decides to "play" with Civet by drinking all the water out of her buckets. Meanwhile, Shimmer is trying to get out the window, muttering that the fool ape never gave her time to tell him about the mist stone.

10. What do Shimmer and Thorn use to make torches?

Answer: Reeds

Shimmer says they'll need them to get rid of the paper warriors that Civet will send to them.

11. What shape is the first paper warrior that Shimmer and Thorn encounter in the Weeping Mountain?

Answer: A tiger

There are actually three tigers, and they all work together to attack Shimmer and Thorn - though they're burned to a piece of paper before they can do much harm.

12. When Shimmer thinks Thorn is dead, she has a strange, helpless feeling. Does she compare this feeling to someone ripping off her wings and pitching her into the canyon?

Answer: Yes

This is when Shimmer really realizes that Thorn is her friend, and that she couldn't abandon him even if she tried.

13. What dish does Thorn hide Monkey's magical hair in?

Answer: Noodles

Civet (not trusting Thorn, of course) at first thinks that he put poison in her noodles. But after Thorn takes a bite and is still unharmed, Civet eats the noodles, too. The she says, "You dirty little pig. You lost one of your hairs in the noodles." And Thorn shouts, "CHANGE!" and Monkey's chain starts spilling out of Civet's mouth.

14. What did Civet turn her husband, the King Within the River, into?

Answer: A stone

Civet says she chose to turn him into a stone because it would be as hard as his heart.

15. Does Shimmer apologize to Thorn for assuming that he turned traitor?

Answer: No

Thorn expects one, but Shimmer is just too proud. And it doesn't really matter anyway, because after they capture Civet, Shimmer and Thorn become a team.
