Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What do Gram and Gramps call Sal?

Answer: Chickabiddy

Gram and Gramps say the road trip they are taking is so they can spend time with their "favorite chickabiddy." Sal points out that she is their ONLY chickabiddy.
2. What color is Mrs. Partridge's "most favoritest boa"?

Answer: Yellow

When Sal introduces Phoebe to her, Mrs. Partridge is wearing a purple dress and her yellow boa and sitting on her front porch.
3. Phoebe's father once had a man at the state fair guess his age. How old did the man guess Mr. Winterbottom was?

Answer: Fifty-two

Because the age-guesser had not guessed his age within one year, Mr. Winterbottom received the prize of a large, green stuffed teddy bear. All through the rest of the time at the fair he kept saying, "Fifty-two? *Fifty-two?* Do I LOOK fifty-two?" Because he thought he looked much younger than the thirty-eight years he actually was.
4. Whose back tires did Gram and Gramps borrow while in Washington D.C. a year or so before the book takes place?

Answer: The senator's

Apparently in Bybanks, where Gram and Gramps are from, you can "borrow" someone's back tires if one of yours goes flat. You cannot do that in Washington D.C., however, and especially not to the senator's car.
5. What are Phoebe's parents' names?

Answer: George and Norma

Sal finds it odd that both Mr. and Mrs. Winterbottom call each other by their first names almost every time they say something.
6. In Madison Wisconsin, Gram, Gramps, and Sal have lemon tea and blueberry muffins. What is the name of the teashop they eat at?

Answer: Steep and Brew

Sal says the whole town seems like it's on vacation with people eating ice cream and boating and surfing. They stop and have lunch, but then get hungry again later and go to the Steep and Brew. After a while the "rush, hurry" whispers come back and she is ready to leave.
7. Who do Sal and Phoebe see at the drugstore?

Answer: The lunatic

Phoebe's wild imagination leads her to believe that the lunatic (really her half brother) is following them.
8. When he married Gram, Gramps had a dog. What was its name?

Answer: Sadie

Gram says she agreed to marry Gramps because Sadie loved him so much she guessed she would, too.
9. What is the name of the boy who helps Sal and Gramps get Gram to the hospital when she's bitten by the water moccasin?

Answer: Tom Fleet

Tom gives Sal his address and says she can write him if she wants, but he forgot to add his name until she asked for it.
10. What did Sal name her stillborn baby sister?

Answer: Tulip

No one had been able to think of the perfect name for the baby until after she was born. Sal named her so they would have a name on the gravestone.
11. Ben surprises Sal with a chicken. What is the chicken's name?

Answer: Blackberry

Sal kisses him in thanks, and that is the second "spectacular and perfect kiss" that happens.
12. What does Sal find at her mother's gravesite?

Answer: A singing tree

This is when Sal seems to really realize that her mother will not be coming back. And that Chanhassen "Sugar" Pickford Hiddle is not really dead at all, but "singing in the trees," which I think means Sal's mother is alive in her memories.
13. Who dies near the very end of the book?

Answer: Gram

Gram's heart was probably weakened from the snake's venom. She had been in the hospital when Sal went to see her mother's grave, so Sal drove herself. When she came back she found that "our gooseberry died at three o' clock this morning."
14. What is the name of the beagle puppy Gramps gets?

Answer: Huzza Huzza

Gramps names her in memoriam of Gram.
15. What is the SECOND line of Ben's valentine to Sal?

Answer: Dirt is brown

The whole thing reads, "Roses are red, dirt is brown, please be my valentine, or else I'll frown." Sal receives this in the middle of October. I guess Ben just missed her too much to wait until February.
