Dear Gordon,

I have a question for you. Why did you make Leo die.

Also, I love your book, Old School.

 

Hi, Chloe,

A lot of your classmates asked the same question, and it's hard for me to explain. Dexter was taking on a new attitude and a new life with new friends. Losing his closest friend, Leo, was part of his growing up process. And, in a small way, Leo's job of making a young man out of Dex was complete. Follow my thinking?                                     -----Gordon Korman-----
