Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How are Lindy and Piper related?

Answer: Lindy is Piper's aunt.

Piper's father is Lindy's brother. This means Lindy is Piper's aunt, even though they are both ten.

2. What age was Grandma Berry when her first baby was born?

Answer: 18

She named her first baby Denver, who is Piper's father, and Lindy's oldest brother. He was actually born on Grandma Berry's 18th birthday. Denver is 31 when this book begins.

3. How did Lindy get her name?

Answer: It's a family name.

She was named after her great-grandmother on the maternal side, who was a strong and good woman.

4. What does Piper wish her name was?

Answer: Laurie

Piper was named after her mother's favorite actress, Piper Laurie. Piper wishes she was named Laurie because she thinks it sounds better than Piper, and because "Laurie and Lindy" is more alliterative than "Piper and Lindy".

5. What type of house does Piper live in?

Answer: Trailer

She lives in the trailer with her mother and father, behind Grandma Berry's house.

6. What type of animal does the Wild Girl resemble?

The legend goes that the Wild Girl went to live in one of the frog ponds. She spent so much of her time there that she looks like a frog.

7. How many months apart are Piper and Lindy?

Answer: 1

Piper was born in March of 1963, while Lindy was born in April.

8. What color eyes do Piper and Lindy have?

Answer: Blue

Grandma Berry calls them Berry Blue. Piper and Lindy look a lot alike. Besides the same blue eyes, they also have the same blonde hair and the same freckles. People often say that they could pass for twins.

9. What is the Wild Girl famous for?

Answer: Trying to get into people's dreams

Trailers are the best for this because they are closer to the ground. The Wild Girl has to look in people's windows to get into their dreams, and that's much easier to do with trailers.

10. When Piper and Lindy ask if the story is true, Grandma Berry says it is, but she also does something that makes you think it might not be true. What is it?

Answer: She uses different people in her story sometimes.

In the wintertime, the Wild Girl has to steal clothes to stay warm. This time Grandma Berry says she stole a blanket from Mrs. Kindley, but sometimes she says that it's Mrs. Grundy or Mrs. Kluttz that had something stolen.
