Hi everyone :) random question here...

I just read Diana Wynne Jones's book "The Game", which was really awesome and I recommend it! But one part of the book really confused me and I wonder if any of you guys have read this book and can shed some light on it!!!

Hayley mentions that another character, Tollie, has got it all wrong about comets and that their tail goes out in front of them, not behind. Also, when Hayley turns into a comet her own tail goes out in front. But I know that comet tails go BEHIND them!!!! Anyone got any ideas why DWJ wrote this?

I'll have to read it and see... I started it but never finished that one. (I'm totally in love with the Wizard Howl books by her though!)

I've read quite a few of her books, but quite a while ago. My favourite was the Power of Three, I think. Don't quote me on the title though, as I'm not sure, but it was amazing!

@  Daniella Cruz : (17 May 2012 - 06:30 AM) Oh and by the way, never talk to me again because I've decided to hate you. /snark (Dani might not hate him Threlfall though, even if I keep forgetting how many Ls are in his name) :lol:
@  Daniella Cruz : (17 May 2012 - 06:29 AM) He's laughing at her Jan. :P Crazy eleven year olds don't appreciate being laughed at.
@  Daniella Cruz : (17 May 2012 - 06:28 AM) It's not my fault one of my characters is a brat and one is crazy! :D
@  Professor Wu... : (17 May 2012 - 02:09 AM) hey...leave him alone...he's a geat guy and teacher and even if willy nilly, willy nillies are needed in this world...:P
@  Professor Pe... : (17 May 2012 - 12:22 AM) he is willy nilly and wil allow the students to walk all over him *harumph*
@  Professor Th... : (16 May 2012 - 10:01 PM) besides, what's wrong with Threlfall, he's delightful... :(
@  Professor Th... : (16 May 2012 - 09:56 PM) just don't let it get personal...unlike one former member who shall not be named
@  Professor Th... : (16 May 2012 - 09:55 PM) I can't win with you Sadie...:P
@  Daniella Cruz : (16 May 2012 - 09:21 PM) She might 0:]
@  Professor Wu... : (16 May 2012 - 09:17 PM) lol...hmmm does this mean that Dani is setting up Jamie for Penvellyn Penitence?
@  Daniella Cruz : (16 May 2012 - 07:25 PM) She's not too keen on Threlfall either
@  Daniella Cruz : (16 May 2012 - 07:24 PM) And probably a CANNIBAL AS WELL
@  Daniella Cruz : (16 May 2012 - 07:24 PM) Lol, Jamie already thinks Penvellyn is an evil, mean kill joy
@  Professor Pe... : (16 May 2012 - 05:40 PM) Haha, you're fine. Eleanor loves Mary
@  Mary Lynn Wi... : (16 May 2012 - 05:24 PM) ooh err *gulp*
@  Professor Pe... : (16 May 2012 - 05:22 PM) I realized while trying to edit my card the other day that I've been playing Penvellyn much nicer than I intended. This year: Bring on the pain!
@  Professor De... : (15 May 2012 - 08:41 PM) going to sleep also, nighty!
@  Daniella Cruz : (15 May 2012 - 08:39 PM) Night everyone~
@  Jamisetta Bu... : (15 May 2012 - 08:10 PM) Her last name used to be Wolfe I think, but I decided I liked Butler better and Dani could bother her about it.
@  Jamisetta Bu... : (15 May 2012 - 08:10 PM) Ahahaha!
