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.

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.

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.
