Now I'll try it out for LOST IN LEXICON.<br /><br />It's a combination of Entering a Magical World and Quest. The quest is not for jewels or magic. It's a quest for missing children. 1 trope point.<br /><br />Main character: two of them, Daphne and Ivan, both ordinary 13-year-old humans. 0 trope points.<br /><br />Secondary character: Well, there are a bunch of them, most of them non-magic. But there is Emily the Thesaurus, a beast who whispers suggestions for the word you're seeking. No dragons, wizards, vampires, fairies. 1/3 trope point.<br /><br />Villain: There are a few villains in the story, but on the whole, they're misguided rather than deeply evil. <br />0 trope points.<br /><br />So the total for Lost in Lexicon is 1 1/3.<br /><br />(http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Lexicon-Adventure-Words-Numbers/dp/0983021929/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346071046&sr=8-1&keywords=lost+in+lexicon_<br /><br />As for THE ICE CASTLE, the villain is more evil (still human), the quest story is less clear (but the"entering a magical land" trope is at the forefront) and there are fewer magical beings, so the total trope score is 2.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/The-Ice-Castle-Adventure-Music/dp/0983021961/ref=pd_sim_b_6Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17645834949716719099noreply@blogger.com
