Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Hot-tempered girl who wears braces and glasses and denies all the negative possibilities concerning her father's disappearance

Answer: Meg Murry

 Meg Murry, 13 years old, is the oldest sibling, having three younger brothers: the twins Sandy and Dennis (10 years old), and little Charles Wallace (6 years old). Meg is known to get bad grades in school and was even asked why someone with such smart parents can be so dumb. Meg is rude to her principal and teachers, and beats up boys who insult her or her family.
2. This wonky lady barges into the Murrys' house in the beginning of the book.

Answer: Mrs Whatsit

 Mrs Whatsit is "the tramp" who stole sheets from a house in town. She justified doing this by saying, "But I needed them." She barges into the Murrys' house in the middle of a storm at night, dressed up in a lot of clothes. As Meg, Charles Wallace, and their mother were eating sandwiches, they offer one to Mrs Whatsit. Mrs Whatsit calls Mrs Murry "lamb".
3. Meg's youngest brother, an intellectual but quiet little boy

Answer: Charles Wallace

 Charles Wallace has a very close relationship with his sister Meg, so close that she was the only one who could rescue him when he was hypnotized by IT. IT cannot stand love, Meg used exactly that by repeating over and over that she loved her brother. Charles Wallace is only five years old in the book, and is once referred to by Meg as her "dumb baby brother".
4. He's a redheaded high school basketball player, and is interested in Meg.

Answer: Calvin O'Keefe

 Meg knew Calvin very vaguely from school, since he was in a higher grade level than her. Meg and Charles Wallace were taking their dog, Fortinbras, to go see Mrs. Whatsit and her friends, and ran into Calvin by chance. He ended up joining them on their adventure and realized, with Meg, that they had feelings for each other.
5. She's a lady always quoting and speaking foreign languages; wears glasses as well.

Answer: Mrs Who

 Mrs Who gave Meg her special glasses right before the trio (Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace) left for Camzotz. While the reason wasn't clear, the glasses came in useful when Meg rescued her father from the supernatural prison he was in.
6. She's a woman prone to disappear suddenly and stutters often.

Answer: Mrs Which

 Mrs Which is almost always invisible because, since she's the oldest of the Mrs Ws, she has nearly forgotten what a body is (weird, huh?). She is the leader of the three ladies and is the best at tessering (traveling). Mrs Which is pretty unemotional compared to the other two, especially Mrs Who.
7. Scary but kind alien who has a soft spot for Meg when the kids ended up on their planet

Answer: Aunt Beast

 When Meg ended up in critical condition after rescuing her father (successfully), some aliens from the planet they were on swooped in and took care of them, minus Charles Wallace because he was left on Camazotz under the influence of IT. Meg developed a strong bond with one of the aliens, nicknamed Aunt Beast, who encouraged her to save her brother.
8. He's a missing scientist, simple as that.

Answer: Mr Murry

 The plot of the book revolves around traveling to a mystical planet to save Mr Murry, who disappeared when Charles Wallace was a baby. Several theories were made up as to his disappearance, including cheating on his wife and being dead. His family never believed any of those stories and kept hope he would come back.
9. She's a beautiful woman, and misses her husband very, very much.

Answer: Mrs Murry

 Mrs Murry's first name is Katherine; she is called "Kate" and is a microbiologist. Her children aren't the only people who consider her beautiful, with flaming red hair, creamy white skin, and violet eyes with dark lashes. She never gave up on her husband when he disappeared.
10. The evil brain who took over Charles Wallace and can't stand love! [Evil laughter]

Answer: IT

 IT was a giant human brain with telepathic powers, and often spoke through his hypnotized minions. IT hypnotized Charles Wallace, and Meg used the one thing IT couldn't stand to save her baby brother: love.
