Young Adult Fiction Trivia Questions

From Quiz The Wonderful World Of Books!

Answer: white

From Quiz 18th and 19th Century Young Adult Classics

Answer: Robinson Crusoe

"Robinson Crusoe" is considered by some to be the first English novel. In the novel, Robinson Crusoe is shipwrecked and stranded on an island for much longer than Selkrik was - 25 years. Crusoe rescues a would-be victim of cannibals who becomes his willing servant and whom he names Friday.

3. Which author, who was in high school at the time the book was published, wrote the great book "The Outsiders"?

Susan Eloise Hinton came up with the idea when she was 16 years old. She used her initials because she was afraid that people wouldn't believe that a book so good could be written by a woman (I know, totally sexist, right?). The book is about two rival groups, the Greasers and the Socs. It is a great book and has been made into a movie starring C. Thomas Howell. Hinton also authored a few other great books, but none of them reached the success that "The Outsiders" had.

"Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift was published in 1726 and satirizes English absurdities in politics, religion, and science. It is considered one of the earliest works of sci-fi fantasy. Although its satire is often lost on the young, it is still read (often in an abridged and/or edited form) by many young adults today because of its fantastical characters and settings. On Lilliput, Gulliver encounters a race of tiny inhabitants, and on Brobdingnag, giants. In the third book of the novel, he ends up on the flying island of Laputa, and in the fourth book, a country ruled by horses called Houyhnhnms.
