The Last Quiz of Squishara

Description

What if the most important quiz you ever took didn’t test what you knew – but who you chose to become?

Eleven-year-old Nora Bell is having one of those days when everything seems to go wrong. But while waiting in Hallowmere Library, she discovers a dusty book hidden behind a forgotten shelf.

It is called The Last Quiz of Squishara.

Inside is a strange quiz filled with questions that have no simple right or wrong answers. When Nora answers the final question, the library disappears – and she falls straight through the page.

Welcome to Squishara.

It is an extraordinary world of living squishies, bouncing forests, magical markets, clock-filled orchards and unforgettable characters including Pip Popple, Mallow and the wonderfully unpredictable Oops.

At first, Squishara seems almost perfect.

But Nora soon discovers that perfection has a price.

With the mysterious Madame Everafter controlling the kingdom, memories are disappearing, luck is being manipulated and anyone who asks too many questions risks being erased. Worse still, the magical stars around Nora’s wrist are disappearing one by one.

If the final star vanishes before she finds the Question-Mark Key, she may never return home.

The Last Quiz of Squishara is an original fantasy adventure created especially for children aged 8–12, combining exciting storytelling with meaningful themes including courage, resilience, kindness, friendship, independent thinking and learning from mistakes.

And the adventure doesn’t finish when the final chapter ends.

The educational section includes seven comprehension questions for every chapter, covering retrieval, vocabulary, cause and effect, inference and deeper thinking, with a complete model answer section. 

Children can also use the comprehensive Vocabulary Builder, where challenging words are explained with child-friendly definitions, synonyms, antonyms, examples and the chapter in which they first appear. 

Ideal for:

• Independent readers aged 8–12
• Children who enjoy fantasy, magic, mystery and adventure
• Building reading comprehension and inference skills
• Expanding vocabulary
• Home learning and homeschool reading
• Parents looking for fiction with educational value
• Reluctant readers who respond well to imaginative stories
• Gifts for young book lovers

The quizzes are deliberately placed after the complete story, allowing children to enjoy Nora’s adventure first without interrupting the flow of the novel.
