cave blat–the presence of cave blats in Glipwood Forest may come as a surprise to the diligent reader, because of the usual lack of caves in a proper forest.

Castle Rysen is such a wonderful name.
Mr. Peterson, you should write stories by Chonk about Harmon Beggly.
Ava, my thought on why not everything is included in an entry is that not everyone has read the second and third books, so AP doesn’t want to give anything away.
Alright, Sara is in here, one of my favorite characters… but why doesn’t the encyclopedia go farther? To near the end of the Alphabet… I could picture the descriptions now.
Yeah. Sara is awesome.
Aye Brave and smart.
I agree! The warrior kid could befriend the two Wingfeather boys, and Clout doesn’t want him to, but he hangs out with them behind his dad’s back. So, when clout is there, he acts mean, and when hes gone, he is nice. Then, he saves them from a scary thing or sneaks off with them for an adventure!! π π π
I love Sara Cobbler! Ooh, I have an idea! I could go to Castle Rysen and eat Cave Blat and Chorkney with Sara Cobbler and Chonk. I could also go to Castle Throg and destroy Commander Gnorm and Commander Plube. Heroic me!! π π π
youl should add a warrior kid who is nice and happens to be clout’s nephew
