Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the main character?

Answer: Arthur Penhaligon

This is a beyond easy question, if you actually read this book you would see it says it on nearly every page. ;)

2. What is the name of the girl who, LATER, helps Arthur?

Answer: Suzy

Suzy Turquoise Blue is her full name. She saved Arthur from the Nithlings.

3. What are the Nithlings made of?

Answer: Nothing

The Nithlings are actually made of nothing. It is a substance that can devour you. It is a hard concept to understand but if you reread the passage about them you will understand more.

4. What was the first key in the form of?

Answer: A minute and hour hand

The key in this book (Mr. Monday) was a minute and hour hand that when put together create a sword. To get the hour hand when he only had the minute hand he had to say "minute by minute, hour by hour, two keys as one, together the power."

5. Who was the girl in the beginning who saved Arthur when they were on their run?

Answer: Leaf

Leaf gave Arthur two puffs from his inhaler when he had an asthma attack. Arthur tried to tell her but only managed a few words.

6. What were the snake-like creatures that devour anything that has words on it?

Answer: Bibliophages

The bibliophages eat anything with words, that's why Suzy and Arthur had to eliminate any clothing with words on it. This was when they were going into Monday's day room.

7. Arthur has a key and what?

Answer: A notebook

When Arthur reached under his pillow in the hospital he realized that not only was the key there but a notebook. It is like a map and can only be opened if the power of the key is in you.

8. Did Suzy die?

Answer: No

Suzy didn't die but she saved Arthur from death many times.

9. What "problem" does Arthur have?

Answer: He has asthma

Arthur has asthma. We learn this in the first chapter when he has to be saved by Leaf. It's true that he can't run but only if he doesn't have his inhaler. In book two Arthur has one leg shorter than the other when he tries to heal it from the fall.

10. How did Mr. Monday die?

Answer: He didn't die

I was informed that he didn't die but was healed by Arthur instead. I don't see why Arthur would save him but apparently he did.
