40 free Flipped trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Flipped is a story about how differently two people can remember the same moment. Juli Baker and Bryce Loski meet as seven-year-olds, and for six years what thrills her mortifies him, until the day their feelings trade places. That idea made the 2001 novel a classroom favorite and later a much-loved film. This quiz covers the whole book: the Bakers and the Loskis, the tree Juli refuses to leave, her backyard hens, the grandfather who takes her side, and the school auction where everything comes to a head. A few questions look at the author and at the 2010 film adaptation, including what the movie changed. It is pitched for readers who have just finished the novel, for classes and book clubs studying it, and for fans of the film who want to see how much of the original they remember. Every answer comes with a short explanation.
