Katherine Applegate Trivia Questions
1. What is Summer's last name?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Smith

Summer and Diana are cousins.

2. Who was killed in a car crash in the prologue to the first "Making Out" book, "Zoey Fools Around?"

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: Wade McRoyan

Wade is Jake's older brother. ("Jake" appears to be one of KAA's favorite names; she named the main character of "Animorphs" Jake, as well as her own son!) Jake's alcoholism later on in the series is largely a result of Wade's death. Holly is his little sister. Casey McCall was a character on the short-lived ABC dramedy "Sports Night," and does not appear in the book series. Although sometimes I wish he did. ;-)

3. Who tried to rape Diana?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Ross Merrick

Diana releases a videotape to the press and Ross Merrick is found dead in the water.

4. Who was blamed for the car crash?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: Lucas Cabral

Lucas admitted that he was the one driving drunk that night in order to protect his girlfriend, Claire - the real driver. He paid for the crime by spending 2 years in juvenile hall.

5. What illness did Izzy have?

From Quiz Sharing Sam

Answer: She had a brain tumor

She gets her head shaved. She has a horrible scar and has to wear scarves.

6. Who proposes to Summer?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Seth

Seth proposes to Summer by a swimming pool.

7. Who actually caused the car crash?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: Claire Geiger

Claire suffered a concussion during the crash and lost all memory of the event. Wade, as I mentioned before, died. And Jake was not involved.

8. What is Summer's brother's name?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Diver

J.T. thinks that he is Summer's brother, but it turns out to be Diver.

9. Aisha often looks down her nose at Zoey for one of her character traits. (A very prominent one.) Which trait would this be?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: Her romanticism

Although certain readers (namely Nina/Benjamin fans) may have a different opinion, Aisha doesn't share their opinion. Zoey is in love with love, and despite being a nice person, this often creates problems in her life when she falls head over heels for two guys at once. Zoey has written the first chapter of a romance novel 20-something times, and it usually reflects her current love life more than her creativity. The obsession with "Sports Night" is mine alone.

10. Where does Izzy go for treatment?

From Quiz Sharing Sam

Answer: Miami

Izzy doesn't like it there. She calls the hospital the waiting room for the dead.

11. Where does Summer meet Austin?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Orlando

Austin is the reason Summer misses her flight from Orlando to Boch Beach.

12. The death of my older brother sent me into a downward spiral of depression and alcoholism, which almost cost me my spot on the school football team. Who am I?

From Quiz K.A. Applegate's "Making Out" characters

Answer: Jake McRoyan

Jake is the only one among the four with an older brother, much less a dead older brother... or a spot on the football team.

13. Why does Aisha refuse to go out with Christopher?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: They're both black, so everyone expects it. Aisha is in charge of her own life and refuses to bow to people's clichéd stereotypes.

Christopher does work quite hard - but that's not the reason Aisha won't go out with him. She just has to prove in every way possible that she decides her own destiny. Also, he's got quite an arrogant streak, which certainly doesn't help things.

14. Where does Summer live?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Bloomington

Summer lives in Minnesota whereas Seth lives in Wisconsin.

15. Which Chatham Island guy experiences problems with drugs and alcohol?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: Jake McRoyan

Jake's alcoholism is something with which he struggles throughout the series.

16. How old is Ali's sister Sara?

From Quiz Sharing Sam

Answer: 10

When they go and visit Izzy in Miami she lies and says she is thirteen.

17. Which Chatham Island girl was molested by her uncle when she was younger?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: Nina Geiger

Nina's secret is discovered - and dealt with in great depth - in the third book, "Nina Won't Tell."

18. What does Izzy make Ali promise to remember?

From Quiz Sharing Sam

Answer: The twins and Paris

Then Izzy tells Ali never mind...she can't handle the twins. Just get to Paris with the right guy.

19. Where does Seth live?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Eau Clare

Seth and Summer both plan to go to UW - University of Wisconsin.

20. After my father died, I was left to support my mother on my own. Who am I?

From Quiz K.A. Applegate's "Making Out" characters

Answer: Lucas Cabral

Lucas's dad died fairly late in the series. He was forced to give up on college for the time being in order to work on his father's fishing boat. He also took a job as a construction worker.

21. When meeting Claire and Nina's aunt in book 3, "Nina Won't Tell," what did Benjamin claim to be?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: The chauffeur

Benjamin often pokes fun at his own blindness, partly so no one else can make fun of it first, and partly to figure out who's "cool." If he invites a new friend into his room, points to an upside-down poster of kittens, delivers a speech about "this excellent Renoir," and the person laughs, they're cool. But God help anyone who tries to patronize him.

22. Where are Izzy's ashes scattered?

From Quiz Sharing Sam

Answer: On the beach

She and Ali had a lot of good memories there. It's good that she got to go to a place she loved.

23. What university did Summer get in to, that Seth didn't?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Carlson

Diana and Marquez both are going to FCU (Florida Coastal University).

24. Why does Claire organize a group ski trip in book 5, "Claire Gets Caught"?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: In order to seduce Jake

She has no interest in winning Benjamin back; he's too smart. He figures out her schemes. And while Claire tends to make Nina's life a living hell, she usually doesn't set out specifically to do it. No, the ski trip was all about getting some alone time with Jake, under the guise of bringing the Island kids closer together.

25. Who takes Summer to see the Carlson campus?

From Quiz Making Waves

Answer: Austin

Austin moves down to Crab Claw Key and shows Summer what she'll be missing if she goes to UW with Seth instead of Carlson.

26. I've got a bit of a reputation for sleeping around. Okay fine, so I'm notorious all over school for being easy. I've even got a related nickname. (Hint!) But I only act that way because I have low self-esteem and problems with alcohol. Who am I?

From Quiz K.A. Applegate's "Making Out" characters

Answer: Louise Kronenberger

For most of the series, Louise was merely sneered at by the main characters. But when Jake joined Alcoholics Anonymous, he saw her at one of the meetings and met the real Louise.

27. After Benjamin's unsuccessful operation, what does he lose in addition to the hope for an end to his blindness?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: His optimism and sense of humor

Benjamin was pretty comfortable with his blindness - until he found out he might be able to see again. After the operation failed, he fell into a deep depression, and his ironic good humor turned into sardonic barbs at anyone daring enough to come near him.

28. After my mom married a single Chatham Island dad, I went to live on the island. My presence caused quite a stir. Who am I?

From Quiz K.A. Applegate's "Making Out" characters

Answer: Aaron Mendel

Burke Geiger got engaged to Sara Mendel, so she and her hunky, guitar-playing son Aaron went to live with them. Pretty much every girl on the island got what Nina calls "heaving bosom syndrome."

29. Which character (willingly) loses his or her virginity first?

From Quiz "Making Out" by Katherine Applegate

Answer: Aisha Gray

Hah! This was a bit of a difficult question, wasn't it? Nina's early molestation doesn't count because she wasn't willing. Nina's later experience with Benjamin doesn't count either, because Jake lost his virginity to "Easy Louisey" Kronenberger long before then. But even Jake lost out to Aisha, who lost her virginity to her old boyfriend Jeff (remember him?) at age 14.
