Well, they are all such interesting names. I bet JK read this book. I have never read it, but after doing the searches for your information, I am interested in reading it. I was looking for a space filler between now and November. I dont think the two new books will occupy any of us for long.

Doreen, there's one section at the very end, where Milo, Tock, and the bug are fleeing with the Princesses, and there's a horde of monsters chasing them. I think the one I'm thinking of is only mentioned in this last bit. It's not one they meet, it's just that it was a terribly evocative name and I loved it.

so I was trying to find the name of a monster in it. It might be the Everpresent Wordsnatcher, but that still doesn't feel right.
Sorry, I can't recall the name of the author.

Norton Juster, illustrated by Jules Feiffer, The Phantom Tollbooth
"Finally, the intrepid three make their way to the Mountains of Ignorance, where they must avoid such demons as the Gross Exaggeration, the Overbearing Know-it-all and the Threadbare Excuse. They complete their quest, and Milo returns home much more interested in life and learning."
How about one of these, Amanda? I am running out of search results. :)
