Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let's start at the beginning. Who are the main characters in this story?

Answer: Sandy and Dennys

Meg and Charles Wallace are Sandy and Dennys's brother and sister. Sandy and Dennys are twins, and in this book, they are a few weeks away from getting their drivers' licenses.

2. What did Sandy and Dennys type into their father's computer?

Answer: All of these

The boys were expecting a beach or Fiji, but they didn't specify, so they went somewhere totally different!

3. True or False? Sandy and Dennys were transported to a distant planet in a different galaxy from their own.

Answer: False

The boys were only sent backwards in time and they remained on their own planet.

4. What Bible story were Sandy and Dennys sent to?

Answer: The story of Noah and the ark

In fact, the boys were discovered by Noah's son, Japheth.

5. Sandy died after being exposed to the desert sun for too long.

Answer: False

Neither boy died in this book, but Dennys nearly died from sunstroke.

6. What do the desert people in the story call their god?

Answer: El

At first, Sandy and Dennys do not know who El is, but they eventually catch on.

7. Who are the beings in this book who do not like Sandy and Dennys?

Answer: Nephilim

Both the nephilim and the seraphim are sons of El, but the nephilim have forsworn heaven and are something like fallen angels. The seraphim, on the other hand, try to help Sandy and Dennys to get home.

8. Who is the girl that loves both Sandy and Dennys?

Answer: Yalith

Matred is Noah's wife and Yalith's mother. Oholibamah is married to Japheth and was the one who healed Dennys's sunburn. Tiglah was told to make Sandy like her so that the nephilim could learn how to get rid of the twins. She really didn't love either boy at all!

9. In the book who first said, "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it."?

Answer: Aariel

Yalith does say this, but when the seraphim are preparing to send the boys home. This is a quote from the Bible. The Song of Solomon Chapter 8 v.7.

10. Sandy and Dennys eventually get home.

Answer: True

The seraphim summon them home.
