Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What animal does Winnie talk to at the beginning and end of the book, bringing the story full circle?

Answer: a toad

She blesses, or curses (however you look at it), the toad by giving it water from the magic spring. Now the toad will live forever.
2. The majority of the story takes place during what time of year?

Answer: the first week of August

"..the dog days, when people are led to do things they are sure to be sorry for after."
3. What is the name of the village in which "Tuck Everlasting" is set?

Answer: Treegap

4. What letter was carved on the tree in the center of the wood?

Answer: "T" for Tuck

The "T" was carved there by Tuck on their first trip to the spring.
5. The Tucks have not changed for how many years?

Answer: 87

They first drank the water in 1793 and the story takes place in 1880. These dates were not specifically given, but there are enough clues and dates given in the text that make these calculations correct.
6. What calmed Winnie's crying when she was being kidnapped by the Tucks?

Answer: the music box

The peculiar tune she heard from the music box was the same one she heard the night before. Her grandmother explained that she heard the music as a child. She called it elf music.
7. Winnie previously thought of being kidnapped. When it finally happened, the experience was just like she imagined it.

Answer: False

The kidnapping experience was much different than what she imagined. She never thought that her kidnappers would be just as sacred as she was.
8. The morning after the kidnapping, where does Miles take Winnie?

Answer: fishing

This is the time when we learn about Miles' family. His son's name in the movie is Beau, however the author does not name him in the book.
9. What object did Mae use to hit the man in the yellow suit?

Answer: the stock of Tuck's rifle

Instead of shooting the man in the yellow suit, she wielded the rifle like a club and hit him on the head. He later died.
10. Winnie lived to be 100 years old.

Answer: False

According to her tombstone she was 78 years old. However, the tombstone in the movie had her dying at 100 years of age.
