Daniel Carter Winner

See more character quizzes here➡️

Congratulations to BRIANNA B. for winning the Daniel Carter Character Quiz. She has 48 hours to choose and claim her prize. After that, I will choose another winner. There were 26 entries (a nice response), and out of those entries, eight got 100%. A number of you only missed one of the answers, and let’s see which was the most-often missed question.

#14 was the question most commonly missed. Here it is: Near which part of the city does Daniel live? Those who missed it consistently chose C, Brooklyn (I’m not sure why. The East River Bridge (today known as the Brooklyn Bridge) connects the rest of NYC with Brooklyn, but it never mentions that is where Daniel lives. On the contrary, the book clearly states where Daniel lives: “A,” Central Park. On page 63 (The Last Ride). Daniel tells Andi:

“Our home near Central Park has electric lights, courtesy of that inventor-fellow, Thomas Edison. He lives in New York.”

Here are the entries who answered 100% of the questions correctly, in the order in which they were received (this is how I determined the random winner via Random.org).

1. Brianna B.
2. Lyla
3. Shoshana
4. Natalie L.
5. Anna P.
6. Micaiah
7. Jalaena
8. Ellie B.
