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.

I love these! 😄
Yay I love these!
Yay!! Can’t wait to do it!
Thank you so much, Mrs. M for such fun quizs!!! 🙂
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summited my answers last night🙃🙃🙃
I actually met Mrs . M the other day at a homeschool conference. It was awsome. Still cannot believe it 😃😃
I love character quiz’s!!!
Can you get money instead of the posters?
No. I don’t give away money.
Hey Mrs. M! Thanks for the character quiz! I’ve wanted to do Mitch for a while. I have one question though, I don’t have the two new books so is there another way to get the answers or is it best to just take a guess? ~Chantae
The best way is to get the books. 😂 After all, that is kind of the point of these quizzes. To have fun with the books.
I have the two new books but have only had time to read one so far. I just took a guess on the question from Stranger in the Glade by going off of what seemed the most like something Mitch would do.
The posters are gorgeous!
Yes!
What does failed mean exactly?
failed: “not achieving its end or not lasting; unsuccessful.”
(got it from the dictionary lol)
Why do you ask?
Did I make a typo somewhere? To what are you referring?
Mrs. M are u sure question 2. Is in the last ride?
Absolutely sure! 😉
I looked through the whole book
@Lily its when she’s talking to Daniel.
In the beginning of the book.
Thanks!
Ooh, guess I’ll try to participate–the second poster looks super cool
You’re welcome!
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!
You need to go by the book…..
Okay, thank you! 🙂
Darn! I had the same problem! I went by the character tab 🙁
I will count it all right in that case until I fix the tab. 😉
Well i changed it because i had to resend in my answers! 🙂
Same… Will I get that answer wrong then?
Resend is what I suggest
Okay thanks!
Uh I am confused 🙃
About what?
The whole thing with the iron train.🙃
Iron Horse, ie, racing the train. It’s just one question. Lol
Whoops got the name wrong 🤣😂😅
In question 7, it has to be both the same color hair and eyes, right?
Ummm…. Yes.
If I have the original Memory Creek Ranch book 1 and 2 could I still answer questions 17 and18? Or are those new stories in the 2nd edition?
I have a hard time keeping track but you can sure give it a try. I think it would work…
Sorry! I couldn’t find it, so I thought to write to make sure I wasn’t looking for a story that isn’t even there.
What can’t you find?
Is there a story about the iron horse?
Yes it is in the last ride book
Thank you, I just didn’t remember reading a story about. I know about Andi telling Daniel but I didn’t see a whole story about it. Thanks Katie!
Your very welcome 😊
I just looked at the character for Mitch and it does have a little more detail about the story with the iron horse☺️
Yes, it does.
Are you sure the answer to question 14 is in dangerous decision?
Yup (unless I got the question wrong…). Look for a time when Andi is getting home from school and has to do her chores.😀
can u look at the books??????
Absolutely!!!!
I was wondering about that to 😅😁😁
Shoot I didn’t know!!
Shoot!!! I didn’t know that!! I thought that was cheating! But I now know!!:)
I think I have made it clear in other quizzes that of course you can look up the answers. That is the whole point. To get you to read or reread the books. I will make sure this is clear from now on in every quiz.
But right now I am on vaca lol all my books are at home😶😶😂
Summited my answers last night🙃🙃🙃
I actually met Mrs . M the other day at a homeschool conference. It was awsome. Still cannot believe it 😃😃
Legit? Me too!!! The conference on WA!
@anonymous The homschool oceans conference in Hillsboro, OR.
I still cannot believe I met her though. I loveeeee her books . They are the best😍😍😍
You are too kind!!!
You met Mrs. M!?!? That is SOOOOOOOOO awesome!!!!
Ive met her via ZOOM but in person!? Wow! Thats awesome! Im so jealous! 😉
Not as kind as u are Mrs.M😊😍🥰
Mrs. M you are one of the best author ever!!
YES SHE IS!!!!!!
I know 😍😍😍😍
YES!
I totally agree with Ellie. I love books but I have never found a book that I love more than the Andrea Cater series. I feel as though I am in the books watching the story unfold. Mrs. M, if anyone asks you to do a movie about your books you should definitely do it!
Lol. My publisher books ask the movie rights. I’m lucky to have the audio rights turned back to me or there works be no audio books. That’s as close as you’ll probably get to a movie
*Carter
@Emma A
You read my mind. When I am reading the books it is like I am watching a movie and I can imagine everything. I have never found any books I love more. And I love reading so much. I am homeschooled so when I get done early in the morning I read for hours ☺️☺️🙂🙂

For some reason I thought that Mitch had been hit twice🤪 I think I probably got it mixed up with another book😜
Jed Hatton, please!
Too bad one of us didn’t win! I guess at least we lost at the same time. We’ll see about the writing contest!
Yeah, the writing contest prizes are nicer. Although character quizzes are easier, id perfer a writing contest anytime😉. Ill still be looking for in the summer writing contest coming up soon!
Yeah same!
I vote for Jenny Grant.
@Brianna
What writing contest? 🙂
The summer writing contest launches July 7
Yup, that one😄
If you go on the writing contest page there is a new one😊
I think Jenny Grant should be the next one as well! Its so cool that i have her name to!!
That’s cool☺️
Yes!
THX!! Did not see that!
Congratulations Daisy!!!! And Mrs. M I personally think Jenny Grant should be the next Character Quiz. She is so funny and just like Andi! Lol! And also thanks Mrs. M for taking the time to do these each month! We all love you!
@Emma A
I agree you should do Jenny Grant Mrs . M .
( I still cannot believe she married Cory)LOL
I have twin sisters named Ellie and Emma!
Aww!
So fun. Can you do Jed Hatton for the next quiz?
Congats Daisy!! And all the others!!!!!
I vote for… hmm Jenny Grant!!!!!
I think I’ll vote for Johnny Wilson.
Justin Carter’s got my vote 🙂
@ katie Moen
That so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for hosting this quiz Mrs. M! I vote for Jenny Grant!
I think Jaci Goodwin. Congrats Daisy!
Jack* (auto correct)
Please Jenny Grant character quiz! Thx!
I think a quiz about Jenny Grant would be fun! 🙂
-Sara
I just got an idea for a character quiz for sometime! It would be so cool if there could be a character quiz for Andi and Riley together and have it like about there love story? Just thought it would be cool😊
That is a fun idea, but where would we get the questions and answers, since their actual “love” story is sort of behind the scenes? The quizzes have to be something kids can look up to find answers. If you want to create a character quiz, I’m all for it!
Ok I will try to come up with one 🤩
I would like a Circle C journal for next quiz’s prize
Congratulations, Daisy!!
I think we should do a Jack Goodwin character quize. We’ve never done one before, so I think we should give it a try!
