From: Christopher Paul Curtis - Author	To: Heather in WI Thank you very much! I've had books that I couldn't wait to finish too, but I hope you didn't get in trouble with your mom! Practice, you can be as good as you want!
From: Christopher Paul Curtis - Author	To: Jenna in NJ I come up with the names from people I know and from my imagination. It's a lot of fun!
From: Christopher Paul Curtis - Author	To: Amanda in NJ I use my imagination and have fun with the writing, if you give yourself a chance and work hard at it you can do the same thing.
From: Christopher Paul Curtis - Author	To: Leslie in Tx Yes, my next book, Buckiong the Sarge is set in Flint, too. But let's talk about the Watsons here, OK? Maybe if we ask Ms Grube nicely enough she'll do Bud Not Buddy in the future.
From: Christopher Paul Curtis - Author	To: Chris G and Chris B Wow! You two have great names! No, I didn't know any of the girls who were killed in the bombing.

From: Christopher Paul Curtis - Author	To: William in MD I don't think I could ever write 250 books! Mine take too long to write. I'm very happy that your class is enjoying the book, keep reading.
From: Christopher Paul Curtis - Author	To: David in MD When I first start to write I don't know where my story is going to go. I just "listen" to what the characters have to say and go from there.
From: Amy Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Shawn I think that he was acting nice to grandma Sands because he was tring to convice her that he was a gentlemen ,so Byron did not have to stay?Do you think there is a real wool pooh? If so what do you think he looks like? Do you think he is tall or short,fat or skinny? How would you describe it?
From: Erin Grade 5th Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Heather I think that you are right about Byron deep down actually loving Kenny.Or because he really didn't want to lose his brother.Anyway he would get in major trouble if he lost Kenny. What do you think the wool pooh is?
From: Madison Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Kenneth I agree with you. Byron is trying to be perfect at Grandma Sands's house, so he can go home. Do you think that him kissing and hugging Kenny after he almost drowns is connected to By being perfect in Burmingham? Explain. ~Write Back Soon~
From: Erin Grade 5th Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Anyone and Everyone Do all the Watsons go home or does Byron stay back?
From: Lyndsey Grade 5th Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Anyone and Everyone Do you think that Byron will stay with Grandma Sands after being so nice and caring to Kenny and Joey? Do you think that Byron will get tired of being so nice and caring for Kenny and Joey? Why do you think that Kenny saw Joey in the water? Do you think that when Kenny saw Joey in the water meant something? Write back!!
From: Tracey Grade Fifth Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Erika I liked ch.12 too. I think Kenny was right to have stopped believing Mr.Roberts when he said that a raccoon drowned his dog. That is soooooooo fictional. I in my short life have have never heard of such a thing. I wonder, have you ever heard of such a thing?
From: Amy Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Shawn What would you have done if you found out your sister was in the church possibly and a bomb was in there in the same time? Would you absolutely freak out or would you stay calm and cool and go investigate?
From: Cory Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Kurt Byron is being nice to Grandma Sands because he told us in the book to Kenny that he was going to be nice to Grandma Sands because he didn't want to be responsible for her death. Do you think that Byron scared himself when he told Kenny and Joetta about the Wool Pooh and when Kenny went to Collier's Landing?
From: nate Grade 5 Pattison Elementary Katy, TX	To: erin Yes By does stay back and the watsons have a wonderful time without him
From: Jay Grade 5 Pattison Elementary Katy, TX	To: Author I think the most saspencfull scean is the chirch bombind. I also like the part when Byren got his toungh stoch on the mirror. I think that is everyones favorite scen.
