Dear Adam,
I think Jess and Leslie are just friends. Jess is happy because he finally has a friend who cares about him. We talked about Jesse comparing his feeling about Janice to Leslie's feeling about killer whales. I think Jess thinks Janice needs help just like the whales need help. What do you think?

Jess and Leslie feel like they have a perfect life when they are in Terabithia. Jess wants this life to be perfect forever. Can it stay this way?

Dear Anders & Brad,
Jess is absolutely artistic! I was wondering how he started drawing? It definitely seems like he is very creative and unique. I like the way that Paterson describes how he draws!

If Jess invited Leslie then I wonder what would have happened. I know she wouldn't have died but then what would Ms.Edmunds say about Leslie coming. Remember when May Belle said at church what if you die Leslie what if you die??

I thimk that it was partly Jesse's fault of Leslie's death because if he would of invited her to go along she wouldn't of died or if he would of stayed with Leslie maybe Leslie would still be alive because they would of done somethimg different.

Dear Evonne,
I would like to build a secret place like Terabithia I would not name it Terabithia because it is a hard name to remember. I would name it something like "Kingdom of the Rock." I would invite only very special people in my life there. My question to you: If Jess and Leslie use a rope to get to Terabithia, why is it called "Bridge to Terabithia" and not "The Rope to Terabithia?"
