Well we all know the book tells us to look for clues both visual and verbal. So i noticed this on a read through last night. The fox says "No fox is an island", but then the paragraph below he then says "No fox an island". Whats missing the second time is the word "is". Interestingly enough, we know that the red anagram for the page is Island. But what is also interesting is the ornage stars triangulate to the word "His", which pulls the letter H out for the orange star word and leaves the word IS. To me this is just one of those things to consider when looking at the text portion of this book.

I'll look more into your thoughts, illuminatinps....Thanks for sharing... but what first came to my mind when reading the 'IS' is missing-- is that the last line of the page says, 'right after I score that missing key'... IS to me could be EYES (i's (plural)).... so are they the key then and we somehow score/line them? In some way?

Fwiw...
The last sentence of the story is...
"After I score that missing piece"
The first letters of this sentence can be rearranged to spell "mask it."

I personally think 'is' is missing because he's trying to get a certain number of syllables. I first noticed how odd the last line of the fairies page sounded, "They faded, called, let's play tomorrow night." There really should be an 'and' in there. But I've noticed that most of the lines in the book are exactly 10 syllables long. Why, I don't know. I've started going through line by line and writing down how many syllables there are. So far it is not enlightening at all.
And speaking of eyes, have you noticed that he uses a small i instead of a capital I in a few places? On the shirt of the lobsterman is the most obvious, but also other places, I think on the bookshelf or signpost (sorry, I don't have my book in front of me right now). Again, don't know what it means.

Can you clarify? I don't see a K in these letters, or in any first words on that page. I only see AISTMP, not MASK IT

My apologies. Is it possible the correct word is "key" instead of "piece"? I don't have the book here.

No fox an island
It's sort of a clumsy sentence which lends itself to possibly being an anagram. Here's the best I've got so far...
"also find an x on"
Yes, that is incomplete but maybe it goes with something somewhere else.

He removed “is”. All throughout the illustrations he intentionally lowercases his i’s. Why is the big question.

. Good catch on the missing “is”.Im pretty sure one of the primary answers lies in the sentence itself... the authors are cueing in one of their methods of code, After I Score That Missing Key, has several meanings, the MASK IT acrostic is already mentioned. This is connected to an important piece of the puzzle. In addition it is homage to puzzle maker Kit Williams, who also got a shout out in “ Treasure In Search of the Golden Horse”, with the line but I will mask it <> but kit williams Another mention about the “is” relates to the use of “I” in the chapter headings (jenny) ...”. All eyes in the fIre “ after i score that missing key such a well-constructed sentence, ripe with hidden Cool, astree. I never realized "kit williams" anagrams to "i will mask it." I've never studied "Masquerade" and I think it would be helpful to study it.

Well it’s already well known a one size fits all method isn’t working for this hunt, like it did with Masquerade. Even with Masquerade, if you didn’t guess the hierachy I’d who went first when drawing lines, you would have went blue in the face anagramming. The book never stated to use the eye finger method using men first, women, children etc.. it happened by chance

Didn't the order of the puppets hanging in the Sir Issac Newton page give the correct order?
