Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these names is NOT a name Stargirl changed her name to?

Answer: Susan

The names are mentioned twice in the book, first by Archie, the other by Stargirl. Susan was her original name, not a name she changed her name to.
2. Finish this quote: "So what's it gonna be next,_________?

Answer: Dog Turd

This was one of the questions when Stargirl went on the Hot Seat. It was said after Stargirl told everyone her previous names for herself. Obviously, others thought the names were stupid, so somebody said this quote.
3. What were the colors of Stargirl's rat's plywood apartment?

Answer: Blue and Yellow

The apartment was mentioned when Leo went over to Stargirl's house for dinner.
4. What was the shape of the plywood billboard at Leo's school?

Answer: Roadrunner

It was mentioned many times during the book, like when Stargirl put a bedsheet on it and painted words that said she loved Leo in a heart.
5. It has been 20 years since Leo last saw Stargirl.

Answer: False

It has actually been fifteen years since he last saw her. In the epilogue, he mentions that he can still hear her laughter when he wakes up in the morning, keeps an eye out for her driving a silver lunch truck, and occasionally drops a quarter, like Stargirl did.
6. What three things was Hillari Kimble famous for?

Answer: Her mouth, the Hoax, and Wayne Parr

Hillari was commonly known for saying rude things to Stargirl. The event known as the Hoax was when Hillari tried out for the cheerleading squad and turned it down. Wayne Parr was her boyfriend. They broke up shortly after graduation.
7. At the Octillo Ball, Stargirl requested the bunny hop and everyone but Hillari and Wayne joined in. After failing in demanding regular music and trying a multiple of other dances, Hillari pokes Wayne in the ribs and says what?

Answer: "Do something!"

She did say that she came there to dance, but she didn't say it to Wayne. As for the other two quotes they sound like something she would say, since she hates Stargirl.
8. Why didn't Hillari drop Stargirl's rat, Cinnamon, to its death?

Answer: Nobody knows the real reason.

Although the crowd thought she didn't drop the rat because she saw something in their eyes, nobody knows for sure why she didn't.
9. Stargirl's mother used to be her homeschool teacher.

Answer: True

This was mentioned only once in the book when Leo and Kevin went to go see Archie. Eventually they got to asking where her parents worked. Her mother makes movie costumes, and her father works at MicaTronics.
10. In Stargirl's speech, "I thought I heard a Moa", she talks about the past, present, future, and other things. Which of these things was NOT mentioned in the speech?

Answer: The creation of Star People

This speech was not the speech she had been practicing for weeks. When she was up on stage, she forgot her old speech and replaced it with this one, although it's mentioned there were elements of the old speech in it.
