Chapter seventeen is called "The Worst Plan Ever".

Definitely a book that is going into my special collection :D

"“I wish we could keep you out of it, but I don’t see how we have a choice. We need your help.” There it was again. That word. 'Help'."

"I didn’t know what those were, but I shuddered at the names. Why did everything around here have to sound so painful? Why couldn’t we be up against creatures called fluffbirds and taffypaws?"

"So if you ever think you’ve made a bad first impression—maybe you tripped and fell over your own feet, or you had ketchup on your face—just picture me, Tristan Strong, hopping into a room full of gods while trying to pull a thorn out of my butt."

"...we can’t hide from our fears. We have to be able to talk about them, or else they’ll fester like poison, eating us from the inside.”

"With Granddad, everything was about work. Work, work, work. Bored? Here’s some work. Finished working? Here’s more work.
Need someone to talk to? Obviously, that meant you didn’t work hard enough, so you know what? Have a little bit more work."

خلصت؟ راجع! One way or another, it's kinda universal...
