Fraser Challenge

Welcome fellow Jamie & Claire fans. We Frasers have worked long and hard on the quiz we have for ye! For ye, we have created a hodge-podge of questions, riddles, and haiku’s to solve and answer. Ye may find a need to travel outside the book on an internet searching journey to find your answers, but everything has a strong base in part 4 of our beloved Dragonfly In Amber book!

The last part is a collection of the previous nine. If ye are a clever lass you may use it to your advantage to save time with the other questions.

To reward the clever, only question 10 will be graded…of course you do not know the answers unless you answer at least part of each of the previous nine questions!

Good luck, lassies! (But not too much luck! )
