Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the two girls moved away?

Answer: Tara Starr

Elizabeth and Emma were sisters, and Barb was Tara Starr's mom. In the beginning of the book, Elizabeth opens by saying that if she didn't like Tara so much, she would have considered her as her ex-best friend. She also fills Tara in on the kids at their school.

2. Where did Elizabeth's grandfather live?

Answer: Vero Beach Florida

On the top of the postcard that Elizabeth sends Tara Starr it says "Greetings From Vero Beach" And, in her message, she says that they all went to Florida for three days.

3. What time did Elizabeth say her father had been getting home?

Answer: anytime after 11:00 pm

She says "The thing I really wanted to tell you concerns my dad. He hasn't been home before 11:00 pm for a week. And mom won't talk about it. She gets that leave-me-alone-I-can't-talk-about-it look. I really have so much to tell you, but now I'm just too plain tired.

This is not an attention-getter. Like, now I want you to write back and beg me to tell you what's wrong. I really am too tired after writing the mad part of this letter. I PROMISE I'll tell you the other stuff in my next letter."

4. What play did Tara Starr try out for at school?

Answer: Cheaper by the Dozen

She was just kidding when she said that they were doing the play "The Wizard of Oz". She was talking about Halloween costumes when she mentioned "Pride and Prejudice". And she didn't say anything about "Grease", so I really hope that you didn't choose that one!

5. Why did Elizabeth's father lose his job?

Answer: His company was downsized.

Yep, his company was downsized. His company downsized 40 of their top executives.

6. What company did Elizabeth's dad work for?

Answer: Data-Pro

He worked for Data-Pro for 17 years before his company had to downsize. He made a quarter of a million dollars a year.

7. What did Tara want to name the new baby when she was mad at her parents?

Answer: Demon-Seed or IT

She walked by her parents and sneered and said, "Why don't you name it IT, or DemonSeed?"

8. What was the name of the apartment complex that Elizabeth moved into?

Answer: Deer Run

Remember that Elizabeth said in her letter that if anyone saw a deer around the complex, she would pay them $1,000.

9. How old were Tara's parents when they had her?

Answer: 17

They were 17 when they had Tara. Barb tells us that in one of her notes to Elizabeth, and she says that they feel much more qualified to be parents at 29 then they did at 17.

10. At the end of the book, what color was Tara's streak in her hair?

Answer: hot pink

She had a purple streak in her hair....but at the VERY END of the book, it was hot pink.
