Where is the snail in puzzle island book?

Answer 1

Here are all my answers from Puzzle Island. I just found this book recently and haven't looked at it in ten years, but I still remember everything. I would encourage you, though, if you just got the book, to figure it out for yourself. It really is a fun puzzle and I got loads of entertainment from it. I do have the answers here for those who never got a couple things.

The left, right, up and down directions of the animals hidden are directionally from the book as if you were reading it. Find the spots and then turn it if you have to. If you turn it first, then the directions will all be off.

The message with symbols says:

Look carefully at my diary in each pencil sketch. Hidden letters spell words which will form a helpful message.

SOOOOO look at each pencil sketch on each page and this message forms:

Puzzle (the balloon, upside down) Island(the left middle branches) is (elephant's trunks) the (far right tree branches, upside down) home(inside the tail of the snake, the branches) of (upper left, in the feather) the (needles of the left side of the trunk, between the two branches) world's (slightly to the right of one of the divisions in the spiderweb, turn upside down) last (millipede's legs) female (the upper right of the butterfly) dodo(the head feathers of the bird, turn to the right).

It's a dodo bird!

"Now, can you spot WHERE it is hidden? It is not under cover!" Huge clue here, but if you still don't get it then here's the other coded message answer.

I am hidden on the front cover of the book. If you cannot find me, look in the border for the letters that spell my name. Join the letters that match, from the center of each square. My eye should be where the two lines cross.

On the front cover, turn the book upside down. The d to a d forms one line. The o to the o forms the other. Where they cross is the eye.

Now for the poem. The place where the dodo is to go is MAURITIUS. This is an island in the Indian ocean.

The real name of Ambrose Fogarty is Paul Adshead, the author of the book. His name is on the back cover and is spelled out by the tassel of the rope.

That's it. There's all the answers for you.
