This week's reading was very interesting.  There is a creature called a "Djinn" who has 1,000 eyes and each eye is looking at some other place in the world at a different time.  The Djinn takes on a genie form.  He is blue and is kept in a limo in the middle of a jungle.  To awaken him you need to honk the horn of the limo. The eyes are located all over his body.

 The Djinn knows everything because he has seen everything.  To ask the Djinn a question you need to ask it in seven words and it has to be a human that asks.  This would have been a problem for Ben, Sorrel, Twigleg and Firedrake but luckily they picked up Ben on the way and he is human.  They asked where the rim of heaven lies and the Djinn told the boy by letting him look in one of his eyes.  

  Twiglegleg is on a mission for Nettlebrand.  He is to spy on firedrake (dragon) and find out where his pack lives so that he can hunt them down.  Twigleg is becoming friends with the group that he is spying on.  He decided that he would tell his “master,” Nettlebrand that the dragons live out in a dessert far away. The purpose of that Nettlebrand would go try to find them. He would then get lost in a dessert where there are no living organisms for him to feed on.  When Twigleg decided this he got vary angry because Nettlebrand ate all of his brothers.  Twigleg’s master treats him very badly and the Firedrake and Ben treat him nicely so he doesn’t want to betray the people that are nice to him.
