Nope. But that's a good guess.

The key word here is "trick".


Haven't read any of these, but, Harry Potter?

Wait...one of the Phillip Pullman books?

@boomerang,
YAY!

Ok, what did madeleine remember?

I'll admit, this is a book I've never read. It's one of those that everyone has heard about, but I think relatively few have ever tackled.

Hint, it's French.

If you don't know, I'll tell.

She had 15 FABULOUS knitting patterns for watching haircuts. Watch what happens when the guys get more than a little off the top!

@chai2,
Yep!

And ... Oliver Twist.

He thought they were dragons! But they were really an alternative energy source!
