The humans and other creatures you will meet in this book:
The Humans
The Blinks:
Miles Blink: A twelve-year-old boy,with worse luck than most, who has never considered himself to be a hero. Which is a shame, as he'd really make quite a good one.
Kat Blink: Miles's younger sister,who thinks she's in a musical. She's not. She's in the back of her parents car singing annoying songs in Miles's ear.Well, it is her birthday.
Amanda Blink: Mother of Miles and Kat. Thinks Kat's singing isn't annoying at all, unlike her husband's driving.
Peter Blink: Father of Mile's and Kat. Angry driver. Going to be lucky if he makes it through the first chapter.
The Norwegians:
Aunt Eda: Amanda Blink's Norwegian sister. Miles and Kat's aunt. Former Olympic javelin thrower. Owner of a happiness lamp, ten pairs of long johns, a house near Shadow Forest and a hairy chin. She misses her husband, Uncle Henrik, who disappeared in the forest ten years ago.
Uncle Henrik: Ssssh! Don't mention Uncle Henrik when Aunt Eda's around. She'll probably start crying.
Oskar: A grocer in the village of Flam, with a soft spot for bow ties and tall women (especially Aunt Eda).
Fredrik: Oskar's son, who likes to play on his calculator. Don't worry too much about him-he's only in two chapters.
Old Tor: He's old. And...er...he's called Tor. He paints pictures of mountains and fjords. And the occasional two headed troll.
Other Humans:
Professer Horatio Tanglewood (AKA the Changemaker): An evil Englishman who lives in a wooden palace in the middle of Shadow Forest, Which he rules under the name of the Changemaker. He wrote a book called The Creatures of Shadow Forest and keeps the pickled heads of his enemies in jars. His favourite music in the world is the sound of a child screaming. He is currently working on his autobiography.
The Dog:
Ibsen: A norwegian elkhound, owned by Aunt Eda. Loves brown cheese, sleep and human children. Hates the forest.
The Creatures Of Shadow Forest
The Witches:
The Shadow Witch: Uses the power of shadows to transform herself and other forest dwellers. Lives with her master, Professor Horatio Hanglewood, in his wooden palace. She breathes shadow-clouds, and usually turns herself into a cat when she leaves the forest.
The Snow Witch: The Shadow Witch's sister, who used to cast weather spells. Currently in an underground prison with weakened powers, she faces certain death. She has known better times.
The Huldres:
Vjpp: A thoroughly cruel prison guard who, like all huldres, fears daylight and lives under ground. In case you're wondering how to pronounce his name, you can't it's impossible.
Grentul: A slightly less cruel prison guard, who is extremely loyal to Professor Tanglewood (known to huldres as the changemaker). He dreams of the old days, when huldres weren't scared of the sun.
