Why was Mr. Hoodhood mad at his daughter in October, when she came downstairs for dinner?

She had a yellow flower painted on her cheek (she wanted to be a flower child and protest the war.)

She told him that she would not work for him in his office.

She insulted him by not respecting his Businessman of the Year Award.

Mrs. Baker was very obviously scared of the rats. Why did she keep them?

They were a gift from her husband Tybalt Baker (and she missed him).

She was a great believer in saving the animals.

She thought that they would clean the coatroom of all its nasty, moldy food by eating it all.

She thought they were cute and affectionate.

According to Holling's sister, what does Holling's father think he is "supposed to be?"

The Son Who Is Going To Inherit Hoodhood and Associates."

Ariel in the play, "The Tempest."

What was Mr. Hoodhood most worried about in October?

Getting the job to renovate the Baker Sporting Emporium.

That Holling's sister would run away.

That his precious car might get scratched.

According to Holling, "Mrs. Baker's nefarious plan failed." What did he think her plan was? (There is only 1 perfect answer).

To bore him to death with Shakespeare.

To make sure his father wouldn't get the Sporting Emporium job.

To put Holling back into the 6th grade.

To have him beat up on the playground?

(CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY) Why does Holling's sister want to be a flower child so badly?

Because a flower child is beautiful and doesn't do harm to anyone.

Fifty thousand people protested the war at the Pentagon. She thinks it was great.

To support something bigger than herself.

To let her father know that she doesn't like being told who she is and who she is going to be.

Why is Holling surprised that Mrs. Baker would let him read "The Tempest?"

Because of all the curses and the violence.

Because it was a very difficult story.

Because he would have to read it again in high school.

Because it doesn't have any pictures in it.

Why did Meryl Lee step on Holling's foot in Chorus class?

Miss Violet embarrassed her by saying that she was flirting with Holling.

Holling called her a "pied ninny."

Because he kept messing up the song.

Because he hadn't yet brought in the cream puffs.

When Holling comes home, he sees his father joyfully dancing his mother around the living room. Why was he so happy?

Hoodhood and Associates beat out Kowalski and Associates for the Baker Sporting Emporium account.

He had defeated Holling's sister's wish to become a flower child.

Mrs. Hoodhood had cooked Lima Beans.

Walter Cronkite was about to come on.

Holling didn't have enough money to buy the cream puffs from Goldman's Best Bakery, but he got them anyway. How?

He agreed to play Ariel in the Long Island Shakespeare Company's Holiday Extravaganza.

He agreed to wash dishes and clean up for Mr. Goldman.

He lied and told Mr. Goldman that they were for the Wives of Vietnam Soldiers group.

What happened to the cream puffs that Holling bought with his promise to play Ariel?

They were eaten by Sycorax and Caliban.

They got chalk dust all over them.

Who saved Holling from the class's anger over the cream puffs.

Mrs. Baker - she replaced the ruined cream puffs and gave Holling the credit for it.

Mrs. Bigio - she baked some more.

Mr. Goldman - he was so happy that Holling was playing Ariel that he gave him another box.

Mr. Hoodhood - he gave Holling an advance on his allowance.

He got an award from the Armny.

He was drafted into the Army and just found out he had to ship out.

He ran into Mr. Baker in Vietnam.

People were angry at the Vietnamese people and took it out on Mai Thi even though she is just a little girl.

The war was over and they wanted them to know it was okay to leave.

They were forced to by the Army.

Holling is not in the holiday spirit because he has to play Ariel. Why is he upset about this?

Ariel is a fairy and the costume is yellow tights with feathers on the rear end.

The lines are too hard for him to learn.

He thinks that if he makes a mistake his dad will be mad at him.

If he makes a mistake Mr. Goldman will make him pay for the cream puffs.

What is most likely the reason Mrs. Baker doesn't decorate for the holidays like every other teacher in the school?

She is sad because she has to spend Christmas without her husband.

She hates the holidays because they are too commercial.

She thinks that decorations are distracting to students.

Even though Holling has many reasons to be upset this season, there is one thing that he is SO EXCITED FOR, what?

Mickey Mantle is coming to the Baker Sporting Emporium to sign baseballs.

He doesn't have to read Shakespeare anymore.

He has decided that playing a fairy in a play will earn him Meryl Lee's love.

His friends all think that he is awesome for getting them cream puffs.

Why is Holling worried about missing Mickey Mantle's visit?

The play is the same night and the end of the play is VERY close to the end of Mantle's time at the Emporium.

He doesn't know if he will have a baseball for Mantle to sign.

He thinks that his dad won't let him go to see Mantle.

He is worried about his baseball hero finding out that he played a fairy in the play.

What happened to threaten Holling's visit with Mickey Mantle?

His father forgot to pick him up.

He was told he couldn't go to the Emporium because he didn't do a good job in the play.

He stood up for him when Doug Swieteck's brother wanted to beat him up.

Mrs. Bigio scolded Mai Thi in the lunch line saying, "You shouldn't even be here, sitting like a queen. . .while American boys are sitting in swamps on Christmas Day." What is wrong with her?

She is horribly wrong to do it, but she is out of her mind with grief over her husband, and Mai Thi is Vietnamese, so she is taking it out on her.

Mai Thi says very mean things about Mrs. Bigio and Mrs. Bigio found out about it.

Mai Thi had something to do with her husband's death.

Mrs. Baker told Mrs. Bigio that Mai Thi was speaking badly about American troops.

How do we know Mrs. Baker felt badly about how Mickey Mantle treated Holling, and proud for the way Danny stood up to him?

She set up an opportunity for the boys to meet and play ball with two other famous Yankee ball players.

She gave them extra cream puffs.

What trick does Doug Swieteck's brother play on Holling?

He took the front page of people's newspapers because they had a picture of Holling as Ariel and put them everywhere in school.

His father’s design for the new Junior High

His drawing of Sycorax and Caliban falling on to Doug Swieteck brothers’ face

His father's design plan of the swimming center

The school didn't close even though there was a hugh snowstorm. Mrs. Bigio brought the class hot chocolate. Why did Mrs. Baker give Mai Thi her cup of hot chocolate.

Mrs. Bigio is still being cold to Mai Thi and didn't offer her some.

She is allergic to hot chocolate.

She doesn't like hot chocolate.

She wanted Mai Thi to have extra hot chocolate because she was far from home.

CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY: Mrs. Baker tells Holling that every one will soon forget about him playing Ariel and Holling says, "It's not like it's your picture in the halls, or that you have all that much to worry about." At those words, Mrs. Baker went quiet and wouldn't talk to Holling any more that day. Why?

She was hurt because she has LOTS to worry about. Her husband is fighting in Vietnam.

It was very thoughtless on Holling's part.

She thought that it was funny that a student would talk back to her like that.

She secretly wished that she could wear yellow tights with feathers on the rear end.

During the snowstorm, Holling saw a chance for revenge against Doug Swieteck's brother. What does Holling do?

He received the Chamber of Commerce Businessman of the Year award.

He received the Nobel peace prize.

He received a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro for his good works.

He received the new school contract for his architect firm.

When they were getting dressed up to go to the awards ceremony with their father, Holling and his sister debated whether or not to flush their flowers down the toilet. Why would they want to do this?

It was a small way to disobey their father who has been very controlling.

They have really bad allergies.

They were bored and wanted to see if they would go down.

They felt silly wearing flowers to an awards show.

Why were the celing tiles in Mrs. Baker's classroom bulging?

Sycorax and Caliban were living up there and collecting stuff for their nest.

They sprung a leak in the celing

The school building was very old and they were wearing out.

That is where Doug Swieteck was hiding his box of things he used to complete items on his, "how to make a teacher hate you" list.

Holling didn't have much money, but he wanted to take Meryl Lee out for Valentines day. How did he manage to take her out?

Mrs. Bigio heard that he needed a way to take Meryl Lee out so she gave him her season tickets to the theatre.

He went to Mr. Goldman and asked him if he needed any more Shakespeare performances. Mr. Goldman paid him in exchange for a promise to play Romeo.

Mrs. Baker gave him some money to take her out so he wouldn't seem like a "cheapskate."

When his dad found out he was taking Meryl Lee Kowalski out, he gave Holling some money so that he could spy on her father's plans for the middle school.

What did Meryl Lee do to Holling on Valentine’s Day?

She took what Holling had told her about his father’s design and gave them to her father, who used the same design and idea as Mr. Hoodhood for the new middle school.

She ran away from Holling because she hated him and she thought that he was cheap because he did not go anywhere with her for Valentine’s Day.

Meryl Lee gave Holling chocolates for her appreciation for Holling taking her out on Valentine’s Day.

She took Holling to the Movies and they had an amazing Valentine’s Day.

Why was Holling at the school board meeting where Kowalski and Associates and Hoodhood and Associates were to show their designs for the new Middle School?

His father made him go so that he could see firsthand how competitive bidding worked.

Because Holling was fascinated by everything to do with the Architecture business.

He was supposed to keep Mr. Kowalski busy while Mr. Hoodhood sabotaged his model.

He was just trying to get out of school.

When Holling found out that Meryl Lee had given her father Mr. Hoodhood's designs, he began to cry. Why?

He felt so stupid. He thought she liked him and he felt tricked.

He was afraid he wouldn't inherit Hoodhood and Associates anymore.

Why did Mr. Kowalski copy Mr. Hoodhood's designs for the new middle school?

Like Mr. Hoodhood said to Holling earlier in the chapter, "If Hoodhood and Associates gets . . .the contract. . .then Kowalski and Associates may very well be no more.

He hated Holling for dating his daughter.

He was an evil man deep in his soul.

He wanted to buy Meryl Lee a pony and he needed the money the new contract would bring.
