Library Quest
OWL Agents are constantly researching all the best library books, but there are always a few questions that even they can't answer. Can you help them? Use your research skills to find the answer to the questions below. Start by reading and thinking about the question and the hint provided. Is the author, title or subject of a book mentioned? If so, use the Library Catalogue to find it. Is a character or keyword in a book mentioned? These may also appear in the Library Catalogue or help you find the subject. "Seek and you shall find" is the OWL's motto. So get cracking! If you are the first to send in an answer to any of the following questions you can earn one OWL Merit Point!

Simply click on the "Answer" link below to submit your answer by e-mail (well o-mail actually) to OWL Headquarters. Don't forget to include your name - if you have logged in as "student". Good luck.
