Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the beginning of the book how old was Jack?

Answer: 12

'He was twelve years old and tall for his age.' This is the second line in the book and is repeated throughout.

2. What was written on the side of the van that hit Uncle Tommy?

Answer: Wild Child

Jack kept seeing the van coming for his mother.

3. True or false: Speedy had only one picture hanging in his "office", the picture of the Territories.

Answer: False

There were a lot of pictures on the wall- all were nudes except the one of the Territories, which was the only one that Speedy put up himself (the rest of the ladies were there when he moved in).

4. What was Jack's father's name?

Answer: Phil

Phil Sawer was Jack's father, Morgan was the bad guy, Richard is Jack's friend and Morgan's son, and Lester is Speedy's real name.

5. At what school did Morgan and Phil meet?

Answer: Yale

We find this out when Morgan was thinking back to the college days that started his "crossing over" into the Territories.

6. What is Jack's friend?

Answer: Werewolf

A Werewolf of course. Wolf plays a huge role in the book and is one of my favorite characters, right here and now.

7. What is the name of the man who ran the Oatley Tap?

Answer: Smokey Updike

This guy was horrible, beating Jack and stealing money. Okay, not stealing money but trying to cheat Jack. I'm glad he got his in the end.

8. What did Wolf not want on his popcorn at the movies?

Answer: Pee

"I want some of that white stuff, please. But none of the pee." It takes Jack a moment to figure out that Wolf means no fake butter.

9. How many times did Wolf go through the change?

Answer: 2

Once when he put Jack in the shed and locked him in and the second time was in the Sunlight home when Wolf died.

10. What was the name of the home they were taken to?

Answer: Sunlight Home

The Sunlight Home, of course. Sunlight Gardner was the leader, with his little boys running around doing his bidding and making him rich.
