Chapter 11 Summary: “The School Master’s Riddle”

Agatha leads Sophie to a nest of stymph eggs, the bony birds that carry students to the School for Good and Evil. Sophie steals an egg, so Agatha climbs on an angry one and grabs Sophie. The stymph flies them to the School Master’s tower while it thrashes. Sophie and Agatha crash through a window into the School Master’s tower, where they find a pen hovering over a table. Sophie tries to grab it, but Agatha stops her. The pen glows, and a book that starts writing their fairy tale appears on the table. The School Master, the shadow that kidnapped them, emerges and calls the pen the Storian. Sophie begs to switch schools, and he refuses. Agatha asks to go home, but the School Master says they must wait until their fairy tale reveals their fates. If they are true friends, then they will go home at the end of their tale. The School Master gives Sophie and Agatha a riddle to solve: “What’s the one thing Evil can never have [. . .] and the one thing Good can never do without?” (176). He then sends them back to their towers.
