The Set-up
“And since you’re all into fantasy fiction,” Beatrix continued, “try this one. Name a wildly popular 20th century novel embraced by children and adults alike featuring these details: The main characters are two boys and a girl. The girl is bright but bossy. One of them is an orphan whose parents were felled during a time of widespread fear of the killer. One boy has his deceased mother’s eyes. The other boy comes from a large family whose kindly mother treats his two friends as if they were her own. The three youngsters engage in clandestine activities associated with magic. An odd groundskeeper with a funny English accent watches over and helps the trio.”
“The obvious answer is Harry Potter,” said Jared. “But I’m sure you have something else in mind. I have no idea. Emma?”
“Ooh, I think I know it.”
“Ten points to Gryffindor,” said Beatrix.
