Jenny Grant Character Quiz

See past character quizzes in Andi’s Attic >>

And the winner is . . . KYRA J. Congratulations, Kyra. Although she missed one of the questions, she did answer the Bonus Question correctly, and that allowed her to be included in the 100% entry “pot” from which a random winner was chosen.

By popular request, here are the winners who got 100% on their answers (first list) and those who missed one but got the bonus question correct so qualified for the 100% drawing (second list).

Next month: Wednesday, August 17. Stay tuned for a character quiz about Melinda. I already have it up and scheduled, but if you want to give me input for September’s quiz, “vote” in the comments: Justin, Johnny Wilson, or Daniel Carter.

Prize

Since we are right in the middle of the summer writing contest, I want to choose a prize that is different from the writing contest prizes. It’s July, so . . . a Circle C hat to keep the sun out of your eyes sounds like a winner. To show you the hat really does work, here is my faithful model Ellie with their tobiano paint mare Lacey.

How well do you know Jenny Grant?

I have given you the name of the book (or short story) where you can find the answer to each question. And yes, you may look up all of the questions. Keep in mind, though, that if there is a difference between what you read on the character tab (on the blog) and the actual book, well, the character tab is wrong.
