Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Sophie and Kiko run in opposite directions. Sophie hears a scream and sees Kiko’s surrender sparks. Sophie gets ready to drop her handkerchief when Agatha, as a dove, drops her a message. Agatha gives her a spell that will turn her into a “baby tulip” and says she will lead Sophie to the tulip garden. Sophie is attacked by harpies on the way, and Agatha saves her. Then, the scarecrows in the pumpkin patch turn into a creepy version of Sophie’s father. Sophie falls and pleads for mercy before Agatha summons rain to wash this mirage away. They hear the next pair enter the Forest, and then Sophie enters the Sleeping Willows, steps away from the tulips, and falls asleep. Agatha squawks Sophie’s favorite song to wake her. It works but draws the attention of Sophie’s competitors.
Sophie is starting to turn into a tulip when Brone and Vex throw piranhas at her. Sophie turns into a fox, a warthog, and a gazelle to avoid them. She looks for Agatha but finds she is surrounded. They attack Sophie, but the arrows and curses fly over Sophie’s head as she turns into a rattlesnake. Then, a wolf-dog grabs her.
