Jack Goodwin Quiz Winner

My author copies came, and I think I posted a link to get an early copy, but here it is again.

I have discovered something very interesting about the character quizzes. Most of the entries that send in their answers right away (in a hurry) usually miss one or more of the questions. The first nine entries made me wonder if I had made the questions too hard! But toward the end of the week, more and more entries were getting 100% on the quiz. Which means it’s not a bad idea to try and find the book and look over the questions to find the answers.

At any rate . . . SARAH T. is the winner out of 8 entries that were 100% correct. (19 entries in all.) The other entries who scored 100% are:

• Bella
• Hope S.
• Abigail H.
• Brianna B.
• Anna P.
• Josie L.
• Lyla M.

Congratulations, Sarah. You have 48 hours to claim your prize (tell me which book you want). Scroll down to find the correct answers to the questions.
