Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When they first go into space, which character gets stuck in a tree?

Answer: Godric

Sylvie and Laurel help him to get unstuck, also bringing him some stones to weight himself down with.

2. "The Great Good Thing" was put inside the space capsule instead of the intended book, which was written by whom?

Answer: Albert Einstein

Angie, the president's daughter, did this. She thought that "The Great Good Thing" was much more interesting than Einstein's "Special Theory of Relativity," so she exchanged the two books when her father wasn't looking.

3. Which of the astronauts has a pinched face?

Answer: Wink

Sylvie thinks that Wink's forehead looks "pinched, as if when he was born, the doctor had held the forceps too tightly around his skull."

4. Ursula is a peasant who sells what?

Answer: Fish

Ursula always stinks of fish, and she's also a bit simpleminded.

5. Which of Sylvie's animals disappears first?

Answer: The giant tortoise

First it's the tortoise, then the fish, then the owl. Each time, Sylvie is outraged.

6. What is so special about Laurel's cloak?

Answer: When you wear it you stay a comfortable temperature

Laurel's cloak is hooded and is a lovely blue. But the most amazing thing about it is that when it's hot out, the wearer stays nicely cool. And when it's cold out, the wearer stays cozy and warm.

7. Who suggests that the constellation Sylvie points out should be called the constellation of Sylvie?

Answer: Fangl

The constellation of Sylvie is in the shape of a flying woman. Fangl says that since Sylvie found the shape, it should be named after her.

8. What is the name of Queen Emmeline's round-faced attendant?

Answer: Mary

Mary is the girl who tells Sylvie and Laurel why Queen Emmeline went a bit faint after Wink tossed their book away.

9. What does Warburton, King Walther's oldest councilor, cough up into his handkerchief?

Answer: Phlegm

Warburton is the one who says that the whole book is in perpetual danger, but since they're in "no worse danger than before," there is nothing to be done.

10. After Wink messed up their controls, Matt says he wishes he was at home eating what?

Answer: Peanut butter and jelly on rye

Kara says that she wishes she were at home taking a nice, hot shower.

11. Who sews Sylvie's wedding dress?

Answer: Rosetta

Mistress Wimble is the head seamstress. Rosetta doesn't know a thing about sewing, which is exactly why Sylvie has her sew-if the wedding dress isn't finished, Sylvie and Pingree can't get married yet, which is, of course, exactly what Sylvie wants.

12. Whose mind (not dreams) does Sylvie go into?

Answer: Wink's

Sylvie can't bear to watch Wink, who's now a tiny baby, suffer during his last breaths. So she crosses through Kara's dreams and goes into Wink's mind, where she helps to bear the pain.

13. For Sylvie's would-be wedding, what kind of flower does she wear in a crown on her head?

Answer: Violets

Sylvie's wedding dress is made of ivory satin, on which there are embroideries of the tortoise, owl, and fish in white. Sylvie also wears the crown of violets.

14. Who built the stile?

Answer: The Keeper of the Cave

The stile was built for getting over the brackets, which was where Pingree had hidden Sylvie's animals.

15. At the very end of the book, two couples are saying their vows. One of them is Matt and Kara, but who is the other one?

Answer: Rosetta and Godric

Rosetta and Godric finally got married, and at the exact same time, Matt and Kara got married. At Matt and Kara's wedding, they had the preacher read out of "The Great Good Thing."
