Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the beginning of the book, who is Merry living with?

Answer: April

Merry has lived with her Aunt April ever since her mother died.

2. The first time Merry meets pirates, she is in which location?

Answer: tavern

Merry accompanies her brother and cousins to the tavern in order to sketch some faces for them.

3. Why does Sally have to leave Merry alone after they leave together?

Answer: Sally needs to get pins

After Sally convinces the pirates to let them leave because Merry is ill with her (fake) pregnancy, they walk outside. The pins come off their heads, and the stuffing Merry was wearing to look pregnant drops to the ground. Sally must run back to get more pins in order to fix it so nobody will see Merry and discover their deception. Of course, she is discovered anyway.

4. Why is Merry in Granville's cabin?

Answer: There were ants in her own cabin

Henry Cork put the ants into her luggage, and the ants wound up all over the cabin.

5. What is the name of the pirate ship where Cat takes Merry?

Answer: The Black Joke

While it is Morgan's ship, it is named the Black Joke.

Answer: Raven

Cook and Sails both spend time with Merry, but it is Raven who becomes her close friend; that is who Cat brings to see her when she is out in the garden. Morgan is the Captain, and while she is frightened of the "man of myth and nightmare" she comes to respect him and realize that in his own way he cared for her.

7. How are Devon and Morgan related?

Answer: They are half brothers

Morgan is the older, illegimate half-brother of Devon.

8. Which of the following answers best describes Devon's father?

Answer: He is all of these things - a deceased Duke and artist

Devon is a Duke, so he inherited the title from his father. During the book, Devon tells Merry he inherited his artistic talent, and she thinks he lied when he draws stick figures. He then explains that his artistic abilities come from his mother, not his artist father.

9. How many times did Merry try to escape from the pirate ship?

Answer: Two times

Merry tried to escape twice. Once, she took a boat attached to the ship, but it was there for repairs and it sank. She had to be rescued by Devon, and Raven was whipped for pulling a knife on Tom Valentine in order to try to save her himself. The second time she escaped with the cook's assistant, and wound up being rescued from a deserted island by the pirates.

10. What is Cat's father's name?

Answer: Brian

We discover near the end of the book that Cat is the son of Brian Cathcart, who is an old friend of Devon's mother.
