Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Trixie and Honey travel in the luxurious trailer, the Silver Swan. What two colours is the linoleum in the trailer's kitchenette?

Answer: blue and silver

The trailer is over 200 square feet, with a living room/bedroom, dining alcove, kitchenette, and bathroom. It used to belong to a movie star.

2. What is the name of the trailer village that the girls and Miss Trask use as their base of operations?

Answer: Autoville

Autoville is within riding distance of the three camps where the girls intend to look for Jim. It also has a cafeteria/clubhouse and an outdoor movie screen.

3. Of what wood were the double-decker bunks in the Robin made?

Answer: maple

The Darnell family borrowed, without asking for permission, the trailer from the Lynches. Joeanne, the oldest Darnell child, was very ashamed of her father for this, and ran away from the family.

4. What kind of food did Jeff the waiter spill on to Trixie's bare arms?

Answer: spaghetti

Jeff calls Trixie a "stupid little fool", and is reprimanded by the restaurant manager. Later, the girls discover that Jeff is one of the trailer thieves, along with his buddy, Al.

5. Trixie and Honey rent horses from the riding academy to use in their hunt for Jim. What were the names of the two horses that they rode?

Answer: Prince and Peanuts

Prince was a quiet black horse, and Peanuts was a chestnut gelding. Because Honey has more horseback riding experience, she took the more frisky horse, and Trixie rode the calmer one.

6. What game did Trixie and Honey want to play in the clubhouse while waiting for the rain to stop?

Answer: pingpong

There were too many people waiting to play, so the girls took a magazine quiz instead. Both girls are sleepy, and drowse in their chairs. Trixie wakes up in time to hear Jeff and Al discussing the barn where they are storing the stolen goods from the trailers.

7. Trixie notices Jeff eavesdropping on a couple who are lunching at the Autoville restaurant. What are the couple's names?

Answer: Rob and Anna

Rob and Anna also notice that Jeff is listening to their conversation, and are able to change their plans so that they aren't hijacked by the thieves.

8. What is the name of Mrs. Smith's collie?

Answer: Laddie

Mrs. Smith is a very kind-hearted woman who loves to cook. All of her children are grown and have left home, so she is happy to let the Darnells stay with her.

9. How many pictures were in Mrs. Smith's locket?

Answer: 8

The locket is solid gold, and inlaid with pearls and turquoise. It has eight pictures- one for each of her seven children, and one for a picture of her husband, Nat, as a baby.

10. Trixie and Honey get lost while riding in the woods. What kind of tree does Trixie climb to try to get her bearings?

Answer: black walnut

Not only does Trixie figure out where they are, she finds Jimmy the crow's stash of goodies that he has stolen, among them Mrs. Smith's precious locket.

11. When Trixie and Honey are in the loft and have been discovered by the thieves, Trixie speaks up to try to seem not frightened. What does she call Jeff's accomplice?

Answer: Mister Al

Al is planning on knocking his partner, Jeff, unconscious, and leave him to die in the barn.

12. Later in the same conversation between Trixie and Al, Honey tries to act tough. What does she call Jeff's accomplice?

Answer: big boy

Honey and Trixie keep Al talking long enough for two state troopers, Bill and Dave, to come in and arrest him.

13. Honey has a dream in which Jeanne Darnell is running and yelling. What one word does Joeanne scream in Honey's dream?

Answer: nevermore

As Joeanne is yelling "Nevermore" in the dream, her long black pigtails are streaming out behind her, and she changes into a black raven.

14. Trixie explains to Mrs. Darnell that Mr. Lynch is "just about the kindest man alive", and that "he has ___________ children of his own, all younger than Diana". What goes in the blank?

Answer: 4 or 5

We find out in book four that Diana has four younger siblings- two sets of twins. I'm surprised that Trixie wouldn't know exactly how many children are in the Lynch family, but perhaps Julie Campbell hadn't decided yet when she wrote the second book.

15. Mr. Wheeler tells Jim that Jim looks "exactly as your dad did when I last saw him". Mrs. Wheeler adds, "He doesn't look _______ you, Matthew". What word(s) goes in the blank?

Answer: unlike

Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler adopt Jim, and he becomes Honey's older brother. Both Jim and Mr. Wheeler have red hair, as does the Wheeler's groom, Regan.
