Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the boy who is writing the journal entries?

Answer: Paul Fisher

Paul writes the entries in first-person view. His brother is Erik. Joey and Mike Costello are brothers who live in the same development as the Fishers.
2. What state do the Fishers move to?

Answer: Florida

They move to Florida. They live near the town of Tangerine, in the county of Tangerine. They live in the Lake Windsor Downs development.
3. What school system do Erik and Paul first attend after they move?

Answer: Lake Windsor Downs school system

Erik only attends Lake Windsor Downs High School. Paul attends Lake Windsor Middle, St. Anthony Middle, and Tangerine Middle before the book ends. Erik is a senior and has plans to attend the University of Florida.
4. Why did most of Lake Windsor Middle School have to move from the school?

Answer: A sinkhole broke most of the portables.

The former Director of Civil Engineering, Charlie Burns, didn't make a very good survey of the school site. The large amount of rain softened the ground so much it gave way, taking most of the portables with it.
5. Why do Mrs. Fisher and Paul call Wayne to their home?

Answer: He is on the fire department.

Wayne is on the Tangerine Fire Department. Mrs. Fisher and Paul call him because there is smoke in the area. Wayne explains that the smoke is natural from the muck fire behind the Lake Windsor Downs development.
6. What sport does Paul play?

Answer: Soccer

Paul plays soccer, usually as goalie. Erik plays football, and the other sports aren't mentioned.
7. What does Paul call his brother and father's obsession with football?

Answer: The Erik Fisher Football Dream

Paul calls it the Erik Fisher Football Dream because it is all they think about. He later finds a file on the computer detailing the colleges who have sent Erik scholarship offers. It also ranks the schools based on their football programs and amenities.
8. How does Mike Costello die?

Answer: He is struck by lightning.

Mike is leaning against a goalpost when lightning strikes the field. His younger brother Joey runs onto the field and tries to take Mike's shoes off. His reasoning is that Mike always felt better when his shoes were off, and he hoped it would help.
9. Who is Arthur Bauer?

Answer: Erik's sidekick

The best way to describe Arthur is as Erik's sidekick. He usually holds the ball for Erik when he kicks, and he does not seem to think for himself. He also drives Erik around, because Erik doesn't have a driver's license.
10. What do Paul's teammates at Lake Windsor Middle call him?

Answer: Mars

Gino is the one who first calls him Mars. Paul's thick goggles make him look like an alien to them. Paul accepts the name, and in his journal entry says that he had been called worse.
