Jess's own fears and insufficiencies, nor any of the foes whom Leslie imagined attacking Terabithia, could ever really defeat them.
A few days after they finished the castle, Janice Avery fell down in the school bus and yelled that Jess had tripped her as she went past.
She made such a fuss that Mrs. Prentice, the driver, ordered Jess off the bus, and he had to walk the three miles home.
When Jess finally got to Terabithia, Leslie was huddled next to one of the cracks below the roof trying to get enough light to read.
There was a picture on the cover which showed a killer whale attacking a dolphin. “Whatcha doing?” He came in and sat beside her on the ground.
“Reading. I had to do something. That girl!” Her anger came rocketing to the surface.
“It don't matter. I don't mind walking all that much.” What was a little hike compared to what Janice Avery might have chosen to do?
“It's the principle of the thing, Jess. That's what you've got to understand.”
“You have to stop people like that. Otherwise they turn into tyrants and dictators.”
He reached over and took the whale book from her hands, pretending to study the bloody picture on the jacket.
“Getting any good ideas?” “What?” “I thought you was getting some ideas on how to stop Janice Avery.”
“No, stupid. We're trying to save the whales. They might become extinct.”
