5. Mr. D. Hartley was the teacher Glenda had a huge crush on. Was Mr. D. Hartley's first name David?

Answer: Yes

David Hartley was Glenda's English teacher. He was nice and friendly to her and inadvertently inspired her to lose more weight. In the end he turned out to be a disappointment for Glenda.
6. Glenda thought of Roddy Fenton as one of her worst enemies.

Answer: True

Roddy Fenton had tried to break up her friendship with Sara in the book "Me and Fat Glenda". Glenda continued to view him with skepticism and hostility.
7. It turned out that one of Glenda's classmates had also joined the dancercise class her mom pushed her into. What was that girl's name?

Answer: Patty

Patty and Mary Lou were also the girls who tracked in mud in Glenda's house. That upset her mother so much she wanted Glenda to use it to guilt the girls into joining the dancercise class with her.
8. What is the name of the really overweight boy in Glenda's English class? Everyone called him Fat _______ ________.

Answer: Robert Fry

Everyone called him Fat Robert Fry. Glenda hated it when people thought that they might be a couple, because he was "way fatter" than her. Robert had a huge crush on Glenda and turned out to be a really nice boy.
9. When the time came for Halloween all the girls begged Glenda for help deciding on a costume. There was going to be a costume contest for their English class at one of the student's Halloween party. Glenda helped Mary Lou and Patty with their costumes, but would not help the beautiful and snooty Cathanne. What costume did Glenda finally discover for herself at the last minute totally by accident?

Answer: Dance Hall Queen

Mary Lou was Lady Macbeth, Patty was Ophelia, and Cathanne was the chorus girl. Cathanne had tried to convince Glenda to switch ideas with her, but wouldn't tell Glenda what her idea even was. Glenda decided Cathanne was just using her and kept her dance hall queen for herself.

When Glenda shows up at the Halloween party she looks so amazing and slim that no one even knows that it is her. Everyone was required to wear a mask, but most people were still recognizable.
10. Who won that Halloween costume contest?

Answer: It was a tie

Mr. Hartley was the judge. He made a brief appearance with his date, Nina, and that made Cathanne very jealous. She also had a huge crush on the English teacher. After a long decision Mr. Hartley decided Glenda and Cathanne's costumes were so great that it was a tie.

When the winners were announced Cathanne ran up to him, she threw her arms around him and kissed him dead on the lips in front of the whole class!
