How to Survive Summer Camp! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Five

Oh, yes, that's right, I had cherry cheesecake, Black Forest gateau, sherry trifle, chocolate mousse and lemon meringue pie. I remember I felt a bit funny by the time I got to the chocolate mousse, and I left most of the lemon meringue, but it's still a considerable achievement!

Answer: Olive, Lime and Jade

Uncle Ron teaches us this song,
"Jade, Emerald, Olive and Lime
We are the teams that tick to time.
Lime, Olive, Emerald and Jade
We are the teams which can't be swayed.
So which of the greens is the best team out?
Open your mouths and let's hear you shout!"

Answer: Squeakycheese

I've had him since I was a baby. He's a bit scruffy now - blind, bald, and missing three of his paws and an ear, but I love him even so! I was a bit worried about him when I first arrived at Evergreen, because I thought I might be teased, but I was lucky, I wasn't!

Answer: Six

There's me, Marzipan, Janie, Rosemary, Louise and Karen. I don't like the last two at all, but I could have worse room-mates!

Answer: Baldy

I hate being called Baldy, but sadly, it's true. I had lovely, long golden hair but I had it cut for the wedding. I only wanted a tiny bit off, so I measured a tiny amount with my finger and thumb, but my hairdresser misunderstood, and cut off all my hair, and reduced it to a stubble.

Answer: Swimming

I am VERY scared of swimming, especially at Evergreen where the pool is just a pond. Mum promised me I wouldn't have to swim, but I was forced to by Miss Hamer-Cotton, even though I didn't have my own swimming costume. At the end, though, I swam six strokes all by myself.

Answer: True

Bilbo is the youngest, and doesn't look old enough to feed himself, James is a poet and likes cooking and talking in rhyme, and Richard is older with curly hair and likes Louise. Alan is my favourite, and we hang around together.

Answer: False

Louise is always showing off in her designer clothes and bragging about her rich father. It makes it worse that she is good at sports and really thin and pretty. Karen is less pretty, and complains a lot.

Answer: Stellarina

I am Princess Stellarina, locked away in Everblack. My friends all feature in it too - Alan is Prince Alaghad, Marzipan is the melancholy maiden Marzine, and Rosemary is Little Red Rosy Posy. Of course, Karen and Louise are represented too, as Kopy Karen and Lavatrise.

Answer: A donkey

At first, Rosemary was a very quiet little girl, but when Alan saved her toy donkey, Dora, from a cowpat, and Marzipan and I washed it in the river, she suddenly found her voice, and wouldn't shut up from then on!

Answer: Fifty Favourite Fairy Tales

It's ever such an expensive book and very precious to me. I was very upset when it got ripped, because Mum would kill me! I'm glad it got mended!

Answer: Jimbo

I didn't really enjoy it, so I messed around in my first lesson, but Jimbo was kind to me so I thought I'd try better next time. Unfortunately, I couldn't bear Jilly's club, macrame. Who wants to make things out of string? Not me!

Answer: Star

I considered calling it The Stella as I doodled around in Marzipan's sketch pad, but I remembered that Stella meant Star. A great idea, the magazine was, it got tons of kids reading it.

Answer: A fox cub

Orange Overall/Dotty Dress/Purple Pinafore/Nylon Nighty found him by the dustbins crying because he'd cut his paw. She took him in and helped him get better, but he got restless all the time and "wailed" in the night.

Answer: Seven

The Brigadier helped me to swim six strokes, and told me I could eat six sausages in celebration, but I didn't eat six, I ate SEVEN and was the sausage-eating champion of the whole camp! But don't let this fool you, I really didn't have a good time at Evergreen, honest! I only just managed to survive it!
