A Review by Robyn

Suspense - This book had some suspense here and there. It was enough to keep you guessing from chapter to chapter. I wouldn't call it a suspense novel. It wasn't predictable either. It was good on the suspense level , but if you like lots of suspense you might not like the book as much as I did. Suspense: (good)

Character Development - I think this book had a lot of character development. The author described the characters in the story very well. You can also tell what kind of personality the characters had. I thought that this novel had lots of character development. Character development: (excellent)

Lessons - The lessons in my novel were mostly “Waste not, want not”. They deal a lot with money shortages. There aren't many lessons in my book but at least there are lessons. Lessons:  (good)

Imagination - There was lots of Imagination in Bridge to Terabithia. There was Imaginary Giants, Imaginary evil spirits and of course an Imaginary country. If you like lots of imagination this book is filled with it. Imagination: (excellent)

Overall Recommendation - Over all recommendation: (excellent)

But when she graduated from high school she got a scholarship to write learning material for grade 5 students at a church in New York. Then she realized that she wanted to become a writer. So Katherine started to write. Before she knew it she had published 3 books. Katherine  wanted to write fiction books because they were the kinds of books that she enjoyed reading , But she later found out that reading fiction and writing fiction were two very different things. She still lives in N.Y with her husband and children.
