Where's The Da Vinci Code?

also, just a suggestion, maybe you could accept real names in addition to pen names, like Theodor Geisel for instance.

Well, seeing as it includes goddess worship and sex rites, obviously yes!

(That was sarcasm, by the way.)

Or better yet -- expand the quiz to include a column for those that have two names.

I'm surprised that less than half as many people got Franklin W. Dixon as got Carolyn Keene

So nice to see a nod for Hatchet--one of the best kids books ever.

Wow! Only 24% knew that author of the Percy Jackson books? Whaaaat?

Awesome quiz, though!

I bought my grandson the entire set for Christmas. I was trying, trying, trying to remember the author's name on the front of the box but it just wouldn't transfer to my typing fingers.

Wow, someone's name is really Lemony Snicket? I thought that was a goofy part of the title.

It's his pen name. He does a lot of ridiculous things like saying that A Series of Unfortunate Events really happened, saying he has a sister named Kit who dies, and a brother named Jacques who dies, and it's all ridiculous, and I stopped reading just because of it.

Playing with the metatext or paratext of literature is hardly a new or weird thing. Some people find it fun.

I am not so sure that "Watership Down," "Treasure Island." or "Huckleberry Finn" were written with the "Children/Young Adult" demographic in mind.

Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are not real people. The Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series were written by groups of ghost writers who invented those pen names.

For years, I assumed that R.L. Stine was a pseudonym for a group of people, since one writer can't be so prolific. Turns out he is!

Pretty easy to be prolific when you're a mediocre writer working to a simple formula.

If a sequel is made, I'm hard nominating K. A. Applegate, Eoin Colfer, Kenneth Oppel, Richard Scarry, and Robert Munsch, considering how much of my childhood their works occupied. Actually surprised Munch isn't on here.

I went ahead and had a little nostalgia trip for the past half an hour and just went ahead and made a "sequel".
