1. At the very start of the book, Zinny is comparing her life to what dish?

Answer: Spaghetti

Aunt Jessie has an embroidery hanging on her kitchen wall that says, "Life is a bowl of spaghetti, every now and then you get a meatball." When Zinny was little she thought it was a picture of worms and mud.
2. What does Uncle Nate call his nieces and nephews?

Answer: Pumpkins and Tadpoles

Gretchen, at seventeen, is not happy to be known as "the biggest pumpkin."
3. Jake Boone's first gift to Zinny is which of the following?

Answer: Bottle caps

May thinks it is just SO embarrassing that Zinny still collects bottle caps. Zinny, on the other hand, is reminded of all the other boys who gave her little presents, all to win May.
4. Zinny finds a medallion on the trail with the initials TNWM. What do they stand for?

Answer: 'Til Next We Meet

Later on Zinny remembers going into a circus tent when Rose was alive and the fortune teller inside pressing a medallion into each hand and whispering, "'Til next we meet."
5. Who did the beagle puppy Jake stole and gave Zinny actually belong to?

Answer: Butlers

The first time Jake brought Zinny Bingo, it was because he chased his car. When Bingo later "got loose," however, he sneaked Bingo into his truck.
6. What dance did Aunt Jessie and Uncle Nate used to love to do?

Answer: The boogie-woogie

Whenever Uncle Nate was leaving the house he'd call out, "Tootle-ee-ah-da!" And Aunt Jessie would reply, "Make the company jump!"
7. When Jake tells her he likes her, Zinny calls him what name?

Answer: Stupid worm

When Jake grabs her arm, Zinny punches him and calls him a "stupid worm." In her own words, it is "not exactly the height of sophistication." Jake shoves a small box at her and stomps off.
8. Uncle Nate's "proof" that he can still see Aunt Jessie is a photograph of what?

Answer: Himself

When he finally shows his "proof" picture, no one knows what to think, as it is a picture of Uncle Nate himself. But he says, "Dag-blast, SHE took the picture." No one quite knows what to say after that.
9. What is Mrs. Boone's first name?

Answer: Louanne

Mrs. Boone comes to ask if Jake had given her grandmother's diamond-and-ruby engagement ring to either Zinny or May. Zinny's mom says, "Sit yourself down, Louanne. You look frazzled."
10. After seeing her wanted sign in Mrs. Flint's store, Jake brings Zinny what kind of horse?

Answer: A wooden one

When Bonnie first tells Zinny Jake brought her a horse, Zinny praises Jake to death in her mind. When she finds it is a wooden one, however, she curses him.
11. What kind of airplane does Zinny's father hitch a ride in so he can check on her?

Answer: A crop duster

At first Zinny is annoyed that her father wants to see how she's doing, but then she realizes he's just doing it because he cares about her.
12. When does Zinny first see Aunt Jessie after her death?

Answer: After climbing a tree to escape a bear and becoming lost

"Aunt Jessie" leads Zinny to a clearing far from the bear, and within a short walk from her campsite.
13. What is inside the cabin Zinny finds not far from the trail?

Answer: Things that belonged to Rose and Aunt Jessie

When she looks in the window the first time, Zinny is shocked to see Aunt Jessie's slippers and coat. Later, when Uncle Nate feels faint and Jake kicks open the cabin door, Zinny also finds all of Rose's things, and a lot of Aunt Jessie's.
14. Where does the Bybanks-Chocton trail end?

Answer: In the mayor of Chocton's garden

To end the trail, Zinny has to dig up some of the mayor's prize-winning lavender border. At first the mayor is not too happy, but when she tells him it's a historic trail, he perks up a bit.
15. What "grew" out of the chicken eggs Ben planted in his garden?

Answer: Chicory

When Ben was little, he asked Aunt Jessie how to grow "the other kind of beans," meaning human "beans." For a project for school he decided to see what, if anything, would grow from chicken eggs. To humor him, Zinny's dad planted chicory in the same place, and Ben believed that the CHICory had grown from the CHICKen eggs.
