From: Tommy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Christopher I loved how the author described the night in the Tennessee Hills. I felt like I was really in Tennessee in the night with the Watsons. I thought the blanket idea was very creative. I found sings of racism when Byron told Kenny that there are crackers and rednecks out here that have never seen blacks before. I can't wait to meet Grandma Sands. I'm guessing she would be mean because if they sent

I found sings of racism when Byron told Kenny that there are crackers and rednecks out here that have never seen blacks before. I can't wait to meet Grandma Sands. I'm guessing she would be mean because if they sent Byron all the way down to Alabama for dicipline she has to be mean.

From: matt Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	I can’t believe I will go from the 4th tallest student at Stillwater School to one of the smallest in Kittatinny. I will miss the teachers and recess. My favorite thing in the 6th grade was going to Washington D.C. and seeing all the nice places. I will miss Stillwater and all the fun things my friends and I did in the past seven years. I will never forget Stillwater school

From: Brigid Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Christopher Paul Curtis When you wrote this book, what was your favorite part?
From: TJ Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: whomever I think that joey is much too protective over Byron and she needs to calm down a little bit.Also I think Momma had to do what she had to do. Daddy did a really nice thing about buying that record player for the car. i'm really looking forward to reading the book some more.
From: Brigid Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: TJ I think that you are right and that Mama had to send By to his Grandmother's house, but do you think that she had to almost burn him????????????????

From: Brigid Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	what do you think is the worst part of this book so far?
From: Cameron Grade 5 Pattison Elementary Katy, TX	To: C. P. Curtis Why did they call the chapter "Wool Pooh" Winnie the Pooh's evil brother a trap for kids and he won't let go until they have died.
From: Courtney C. Grade 5 Pattison Elementary Katy, TX	To: Everyone And Anyone I like it when Byron told Winnie about the Wooh Pooh and that it is really Winnie The Pooh evil Brother. It really a whirlpool. I like it when the bomb blew up the church and that they thought that the girl's blood was a red dress. I thought it destroy everything . It was cool. Please mail me back!
From: Leslie G. Grade 5 Pattison Elementary Katy, TX	To: Amber Do you like the end of the book so far. We just finished the part about the part of the church bombing. Do you like this part? It was really sad. I am glad that Joey lived it is kind of wierd haw Kenny couldn't hear anything. He was just really shocked.
From: Kristyn K. Grade 5 Pattison Elementary Katy, TX	To: Lyndsey I liked the chapter about the bombing because it was cool the way they made kenny. what didyou thik about that chapter?
From: Peter Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Jon in Stillwater School Yes Jon, I do agree with you. However, I do disagree with the crazy part. Instead of crazy, I would suggest that it is funny. I think that it can be serious, such as when Byron could've got his finger burnt off. Do you like the book, so far?
