In 'Kidnapped', the main character's journey through various challenges and his attempts to find his rightful place and uncover the truth about his situation could be seen as a form of 'crossword quest'. He has to piece together different pieces of information, from the people he meets and the situations he encounters, to reach his goals.
As mentioned before, 'Treasure Island' could be considered to have such an element. The search for the buried treasure involves following a map which is like a set of clues, similar to a crossword puzzle.
I'm not entirely sure which specific Stevenson novel this refers to directly. However, generally speaking, it could be a symbolic representation of a character's journey. Maybe it's a journey where the character has to find the right 'words' or solutions to progress. It could also be related to a theme of self - discovery, where the character has to fill in the 'blanks' of their own identity, much like filling in the blanks in a crossword.
I'm not aware of any novel that specifically combines these elements in a direct way. Sheryl Sandberg's work and influence haven't been typically associated with novels having crossword - like features in a mainstream sense.
Another one is 'Carrie'. This novel tells the story of a girl with telekinetic powers who is bullied at school and then takes revenge in a very disturbing way. There are a lot of psychological and horror elements in it. For example, the prom scene is both iconic and terrifying.
Sure. 'Treasure Island' is a must - read. It's all about the hunt for pirate treasure and has great characters like Long John Silver.
Perhaps it's suspenseful. His novels often keep readers on the edge of their seats. So, the crossword clue might be designed in a way that creates a sense of anticipation and tension, for example, it could be a phrase that implies something is about to happen but not quite clear what it is.
The fruit-named narrator could be a unique twist that makes the crossword stand out. It might be used to connect different elements or as a playful distraction to challenge solvers' thinking.
As far as I know, none of his popular novels like 'Shutter Island' have any known 'crossword' references.
It could be a common theme or setting. Maybe a specific author's name or a genre.
One of the most well - known is 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien. It's about Bilbo Baggins' quest to help the dwarves reclaim their homeland. Another is 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' which can be seen as Alice's quest through a strange and magical world.
One example could be 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles' by Agatha Christie. It has elements of mystery and a somewhat gothic atmosphere. Another is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. It's full of gothic elements like vampires and dark, spooky settings. It also has a complex plot structure which is somewhat like a crossword in that you have to piece together the events.
