Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does April Devereaux hire Fletcher (or 'Half Moon') to find?

Answer: A fake lock of popstar hair

April used horse hair from her friend's pony and planted it in Red Sharkey's bag to get him into trouble so that she could get his brother expelled and Red wouldn't be able to stop her.

2. Which police officer does Fletcher know the best?

Answer: Murt Hourihan

Francis Quinn is the head of the police station and married to Fletcher's headmistress, Principal Quinn. John Cassiday is also a guard, but Bob Burnstein is the 'legendary detective' who runs an academy and wrote a manual.

3. What did Bella Barnes accuse Herod Sharkey of stealing?

Answer: Her organizer

They got into a fight in the basketball court about it and Fletcher investigates. He finds it in the Millennial Garden because of the flowers on Herod's shoe.

4. What did Fletcher get accused of doing?

Answer: Arson

He was accused of setting fire to May Devereaux's garden when he was taking a picture of a bruise that incriminated Red Sharkey because Red's name was in it. Red used his hurling bat to hit Half Moon, and it had his name engraved on it.

5. What does May Devereaux do in the talent competition?

Answer: Dancing

She is an Irish dancer, and not a very good one, but she manages to come in first place because someone who wants her to win sets everyone else up.

6. What is April's club called?

Answer: Les Jeunes �tudiantes

It means the young students in French, as April wants to become president of Ireland. That's why she tried to get rid of Herod and some other boy because they were disrupting the classes.

7. Why is his nickname 'Half Moon'?

Answer: He's short

His surname is Moon, so Red called him 'Half Moon' in third grade because he was the smallest kid in class.

8. The book is set in Ireland, but in which town?

Answer: Loch

Loch is a town in the south of Ireland.

9. Who did he tell that she had a calcium deficiency?

Answer: His cousin

He told Aoife this because of the white marks on her nails, which his mother brought up when he was going to April's house.

10. Whose window did he break trying to get to May's House?

Answer: Her next-door-neighbor's

His name was George Montgomery. Fletcher thought he was at May's house, and that George was an intruder and behind all of it.
