Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is one thing the narrator says about REAL WITCHES at the beginning of the book?

Answer: They look and act normal, even though they are anything but normal.

He says "REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS."

2. The main character's name is Bob.

Answer: False

We wouldn't know what his name is, because the book never mentions his name.

3. What was the little boy in the story doing when he met his FIRST witch?

Answer: Working on the tree house he and his best friend Timothy were building.

He couldn't have been talking to Timothy because Timothy was sick with the flu. He was nailing on a plank of the roof, when the first witch tried to lure him down with a pet snake.

4. What did the little boy's grandmother come down with right before they went on their vacation to Norway?

Answer: pneumonia

She caught pneumonia, three or four weeks before they were to leave. Instead, they went to a hotel in England.

5. What was the name of the hotel that the boy and his grandmother stayed in?

Answer: The Hotel Magnificent

The Hotel Magnificent was on the South Coast of England. They couldn't have stayed in the other three, because those are all hotel chains in America.

6. What did the boy name his pet mice?

Answer: Mary and Willam

He gets them right before they go to the Hotel Magnificent, as a consolation present from his grandmother.

7. What do the witches call their leader?

Answer: The Grand High Witch

It mentions it many times in the book...they call her the Grand High Witch. She is the one who calls all of the shots!

8. What do the witches use as their cover name so they can use the ballroom at the Hotel Magnificent?

Answer: The RSPCC

The notice on the board outside the ballroom said, "RSPCC Meeting, Strictly Private, This Room is Reserved for the Annual Meeting of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children".

9. What is the name of one of the plans for getting rid of all of the children in England?

Answer: The Delayed Action Mouse Maker

Yes, the name of it is the Delayed Action Mouse Maker. The Grand High Witch herself gives her posse of witches the recipe, and gives the older witches some samples.

10. How does the boy get rid of the witches?

Answer: He puts one of the samples of the Delayed Action Mouse Maker in their soup.

I really hope that you got the right answer on this one! He wasn't magic, and he doesn't have Rabies. So if you chose those, you were way off! I guess the other one COULD have happened, but it didn't.
