"The Lottie Project" Mania! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jamie Edwards

The class didn't know that their new teacher would sit them in alphabetical order, so Angela, one of Charlie's best friends, bagged a desk for her and Charlie and bagged the desk next to them for Lisa, Charlie's other best friend. You see, what usually happens is that one year Lisa sits next to Charlie, the next year Angela, the next year Lisa, and so on.
Jamie Edwards, the swottiest, smartest boy (and person!) in the class, is the person Charlie is forced to sit by. And boy, she hates it! She sulks for the rest of the day.

Answer: Ada-May

The people in Lottie's family are: Mother, Lottie, Frank, Rose, Jessie and Ada-May. Ada-May is the youngest; she is a baby. Lottie is the oldest child. Lottie's father died of cold, and probably drink.
Louisa and Freddie are two of the children Lottie has to take care of, when she gets the job. And the choice 'Lottie', of course, is herself.

Answer: No. 38, Meadowbank

It says so at the end of the second chapter of Charlie's life, when she is writing up her poster. It says, 'STRONG RELIABLE SCHOOLGIRL WANTS WORK. WILL DO SHOPPING, RUN ERRANDS, WHATEVER YOU WANT. APPLY MISS C. A. K. ENRIGHT, NO. 38 MEADOWBANK.'
So, if we do a little simple deduction, Charlie lives at No. 38, Meadowbank.

Answer: A boot

It says in the book, 'I did not care for the upper-nurse either, who had a face like a boot and long nipping fingers like button hooks.'
A first, Lottie thought this job could be the one, but she didn't care for the little boy, who stuck out his tongue at Lottie and kicked her on her shin. Then she goes on to describe the upper-nurse. But she says she would have taken the job if it hadn't been for the master, who she feels was NOT a gentleman.

Answer: Apples

To celebrate Jo's new job, Charlie and Jo have a red tea, like they used to have when Jo was the electrical company manageress. But it had to be a very cheap red tea.
Jo suggests the baked beans and the raspberry ripple, and says 'or red apples' when Charlie suggests the plums. In the end, it says in the book, '"I think that's coming it a bit, old girl. Beans, plums and ice cream, that'll do."'

Answer: Eliza is a maid and Mrs. Angel is a cook

It does sound (in the book) as if they are both cooks, but when they are introduced it says, 'Mrs. Angel the cook and Eliza the maid are supposed to survive on this frugal diet too, but they eat their meals down in the kitchen and Mrs. Angel is adept at keeping back the choicest portions for their own plates before Eliza serves the master in the dining room.'

Answer: "Too old for toys but too young for boys."

All except 'You're a sweet kid, Charlie." are sayings. Lisa's mother and Charlie are talking about cooking and Lisa's mother mentions how Charlie is changing. Charlie denies it almost immediately, and it is then that Lisa's mother says it.

Answer: Green

At the beginning of the Lottie chapter, 'Toys and Books', Lottie says how once she couldn't resist 'hitching up her skirts and clambering into the saddle'. She describes it as 'It's such a splendid creature, with a curly mane and a long tail of real horse's hair, a red saddle and reins and great green rockers.' She only rocks three times in case they can hear the creaks of the rockers below.

Answer: She misses an 'n' out in 'Anniversary'.

Grandma points this out, rather nastily, to Charlie. She does this along with a remark that nowadays they don't take spelling seriously. Jo and Charlie are both worked up by this, and in the end, Charlie ends up yelling at Grandma.

Answer: Jessie's

Lottie stays up all night sewing the little monkey out of a red flannel petticoat she has. Her eyes are red the next day from sewing by candlelight. And she feels depressed after she wraps the monkey in last week's newspaper and sends it off, because she won't be able to see Jessie open it.

Answer: Be happy

Charlie describes her Sunday as 'We had a wonderful Sunday, having a really long lie in and then a dozy hour or two playing Magic Lands and then, when we eventually got up, I made us special little fairy cakes. We ate them hot out of the oven for breakfast and then later when they cooled down I iced them pink and then changed to white in my little icing bag and piped funny messages over them - HELLO and I LIKE YOU and FUNNY FACE - like those little love heart sweets.' Charlie gives them out at school the next day, gives Lisa an I LIKE YOU and tells her to put it on Dave Wood's desk, as Lisa has a crush on Dave Wood.

She gives Angela an I LIKE YOU and Angela pretends to feed all the rock stars on her t-shirt and then eats it. And guess what she ended up giving Jamie? An I LIKE YOU.

Answer: Rose

It says in the book: 'Rose's letter makes me feel so homesick.' And there is a little picture at the bottom of the page, with Lottie in her nightgown reading a letter by candlelight.

Answer: French

Charlie goes round to Jamie's house to borrow a book for her project. There is a paragraph about how brainy each of Jamie's family are. This paragraph includes how Jules, Jamie's older brother is taking twelve GCSEs!

Answer: France

On Sundays the children have to do boring things. Victor has to read an instruction book, not like the ones he likes. Louisa has to put away her everyday doll and play with the French Sunday doll instead. But she doesn't play with it because she might spoil the doll - so she gets bored.

Answer: Manchester

When Robin runs away he tries to catch the train to Manchester, to see his mum. But he gets found again, with pneumonia.
