" Mrs. Paterson is an excellent writer and a very good person. She has written some fantastic books. In my opinion, her book “Bridge to Terabithia” is one of her best books. Based on her personal experiences, the book is very emotional for her and for her readers too. I only hope that she will write another amazing story soon. "

" The meeting with Katherine Paterson was a very good experience and it was interesting. She talked to us about her book and the real story that urged her to write it. She read to us a part of “Bridge to Terabithia” and answered our questions. Then we did a Readers Theatre performance. "

" Last Saturday we met a special person, Katherine Paterson, who is an author. When I saw her, I thought she was a little older than I had expected, but she was as funny as a teenager. She told us a lot of interesting things and we understood that she had a full life. She was full of energy and kindness. She has travelled all over the world and she is the best author I have ever met. "
