Jess and Leslie aren't the only characters Katherine Paterson has written about who are "different." Many of the characters she creates are considered outcasts and overcome some obstacle. This website explains that Katherine Paterson herself was often considered strange because she was born in China and moved around the world as a young girl. She therefore strives to create characters that she and her readers can identify with.
