Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. [Meg and Dr. Blake are discussing a bit of news about the zoo's lions]
'Eaten a tourist?' Was he serious? 'You're remarkably calm about the tourist's fate.'
'I take a Darwinian view of it,' Grandfather said. 'We do what we can to keep the tourists out and the lions in. But if some fool tourist figures out a way to circumvent all our precautions -- well, there you have it.' (chapter 4) 'Junior Goblin Rob here,' my brother answered. 'What is your will, O mighty queen of the Goblin Tribe?' (chapter 9) [Meg is worried about whether her cousin Rose Noire is too tired]
'Yes, I'll be fine,' she said. 'In fact, it will do me good to spend some time with pure, innocent, loving children.'
'I thought you were babysitting Josh and Jamie,' I said. 'Who are these paragons you're watching instead?' (chapter 13) [Meg is asking Rob if Mutant Wizards' Vampire Colonies game has a powerful goblet in it.]
'Yeah, the Goblet of Sorrow,' he said. 'Any vampire who drinks from it can walk in sunlight unharmed for the next twenty-four hours.'
'Why is it called the Goblet of Sorrow, then?' I asked. 'Why not something like the Goblet of Joyfully Biting People in Broad Daylight?' (chapter 22) | |

I’ve been reading through this series for a couple of years, just grabbing the next book in line whenever the mood strikes. Occasionally this means that I’ll end up with a Christmas story in the middle of July, but somehow, this time around the next book up just happened to be a Halloween themed story – which was just pure coincidence- but it fit my mood perfectly.
Caerphilly is hosting its first ever Halloween festival -and for once Meg is not the chief organizer. But, the twins’ revolving door of Halloween costumes, deadly role-playing games, a haunted house, and two murders keep Meg on her toes, as she regales us with her hilarious internal dialogue.
As per usual, the story is wildly zany and entertaining, and seems to always go by too quickly. Another wonderfully enjoyable chapter in the series! As always- I’m looking forward to Meg’s next adventure!
