We had a few mishaps, namely question #2 (about Mitch’s age at the time of him racing the Iron Horse. With that in mind, I allowed those who missed that question (and got everything else right) a chance to win. I try to be as fair as possible! However, if you missed #2 but also another one, that means you were not in the drawing. Or if you missed only one, but it was NOT #2 that you missed, you are also not in the drawing. Make sense?
At any rate, Daisy is the random winner out of six 100% entries. There were two dozen entries total. I know you want to know who the six entries were. Here you go.
- Daisy
- Emma A.
- Esther B. (Essie), missed #2 only
- Anna F., missed #2 only
- Tori H.
- Abby B.
Let me know who should be spotlighted in next month’s character quiz. Your choices are these “J” characters. Vote in the comments.

Howdy! Question, in the characters on this blog it said for Mitch Carter “When Mitch was 16 (and I was 6), he got this crazy, horribly dangerous idea into his head. Sure, his horse Chase is fast (even faster than Taffy), but Mitch bragged that Chase is faster than even the Iron Horse. ”
But in the books where Andi was talking with Daniel she said “When Mitch was my age he got the idea to race the train,” I kept reading the book and found out that Andi was going on sixteen so I don’t get how old Mitch was, almost 16 0r 17? (In the book he would be almost 16… but in the characters tab, it’s different.)
Thanks!
