Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the sequel to "Lost in a Good Book"?

Answer: The Well of Lost Plots

 "The Eyre Affair" was the first book in the series. In it, Thursday Next must chase Acheron Hades, who has found a way into novels and who kidnaps Jane Eyre.
2. What is the name of the Hades sister who pursues Thursday Next?

Answer: Aornis

 The Aornis is one of the rivers of Hades. Acheron's sister Aornis pursues Thursday in order to avenge her brother's death.
3. Who is Thursday's mentor as she learns to move through books?

Answer: Miss Havisham

 Miss Havisham hails from Charles Dickens's "Great Expectations," and she teaches Thursday how to "read" her way into books.
4. Thursday owns a dodo. For whom is the dodo named?

Answer: A Dickens character

 In Thursday's world, bringing extinct animals back into being was once all the rage. Her dodo, Pickwick, draws her name from Dickens's novel "The Pickwick Papers."
5. When imprisoned by Goliath, Thursday is saved by her mentor. Into what "book" do they initially escape?

Answer: A laundry label

 From the laundry label, a land inhabited by large laundry icons, they move onto the washing machine manual, at length returning to "Great Expectations."
6. What is an SEB?

Answer: Supreme Evil Being

 Thursday's fellow SpecOps agent Spike hunts, in addition to vampires, SEBs, each of whom considers itself to be THE Supreme Evil Being.
7. Thursday's father was once an agent in what SpecOps group?

Answer: The ChronoGuard

 Her father, however, went "rogue," and he was eradicated by the ChronoGuard, so that he was officially never born.
8. From which work of literature must Thursday retrieve Jack Schitt?

Answer: The Raven

 In "Eyre Affair," Thursday imprisoned him in "The Raven," using her uncle's prose portal. But when Goliath eradicates her husband, she is willing to find a way back in to free Schitt in exchange for Landen's life. Goliath, not surprisingly, double crosses her.
9. Who is constantly attempting to get Thursday to do promotional interviews for SpecOps?

Answer: Cordelia

 Cordelia convinces Thursday to make a television appearance, but every subject is so thoroughly censored, that Thursday ends up only being able to discuss her dodo.
10. Thursday must halt the destruction of the world. What will the world be turned into if she fails?

Answer: Dream Topping

 Strawberry flavored Dream Topping, to be exact. Forensics had difficulty identifying the substance, but, in the end, a simple taste test revealed the secret.
