=How to Use This Wiki=

//There are two ways you can use this Wiki. You can use it to discuss the Nutmeg books using the **discussion** feature. You can also use the **Edit this Page** feature to collaborate with others on the creation of an encyclopedia full of information related to the Nutmeg books. The goal of this wiki is to write articles about the Nutmeg books, providing users of this wiki with links to more information so that they can better understand the article and the story. As you read the Nutmeg books, keep track of the names of things, people, and placed mentioned in the book that you would like to research. Then, research one or more of those topics and use that research to write articles and create links related to the Nutmeg books.//
