Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What did Cindy think Megan had in her ears when they first met?

Answer: bubble gum

Cindy looked straight at Megan. Now she looked a little frustrated. "Whats the matter? Are you deaf or something?" she yelled back.
Megan screamed out and then fell to the ground, laughing hysterically. "How did you know that?" she asked as she laughed.
"Huh? You mean you are deaf?" Cindy asked meekly.
"Duh! That's why I have these hearing aids!" Megan said as she pointed to her ears and turned her head from side to side so that Cindy could see the bright purple ear molds and hearing aids hanging over each ear. "I am deaf."
Cindy took a moment to let this sink in. "I thought someone put bubble gum in your ears!" she said.

2. What color is Megan obsessed with?

Answer: purple

Megan's room was entirely purple. Her rug, walls, bedspread were all purple. She often wore purple clothes, had purple hearing aids and even sent Cindy a purple invitation.

3. Who does Megan befriend when she gets to camp Ozanam?

Answer: another deaf girl

Lizzie is another deaf girl in Megan's cabin and they became pretty good friends. Lizzie does not speak like Megan does, so sometimes Megan would translate things for her.

4. What is the thing that Megan is embarrassed about taking to camp?

Answer: an old blanket

This is the real reason she fought her parents about going to camp. She was afraid she'd be made fun of for still sleeping with her blanket and sucking her thumb. Cindy convinces her that it will be okay and that she only recently gave up a similar habit.

5. Why does Ruthie, the camp counselor, know how to sign?

Answer: her sister is deaf

Ruthie states that her signing is rusty and asks if Megan can help her brush up. She told Megan that her older sister was deaf too.

6. What was 'Mum's Day' at the camp?

Answer: a day where nobody could talk

Cindy came up with the idea and later got angry at Megan when she took the credit for it. Mum's day was a huge success. Those that talked had to put a nickel in a huge jar which was later donated to charity.

7. Who gets lost in the woods, trying to take revenge for being made fun of?

Answer: Megan

Megan decides to leave her cabin before morning and ends up getting lost in the woods. Since she can't hear, she had trouble finding her way back to camp. Cindy eventually finds her and Ruthie finds them. They both return to camp safely.

8. Who passes away while Megan is at camp?

Answer: her dog

The dog, named Apples, had notoriously bad breath and liked salmon patties.

9. Who started the fight at the end of the book, at the bus stop?

Answer: Cindy

Cindy lunged at Megan and they rolled on the ground, pulling each other's hair and screaming at each other until their mothers came and broke up the fight. Cindy said she was tired of being bossed about by Megan.

10. What is put up especially for Megan in her neighborhood?

Answer: a deaf child sign

Megan is very proud of her sign. She feels like it will let everyone know that that is her neighborhood.
