Overview
Jess copes with tragedy by going to a secret kingdom in the woods invented by newcomer Leslie Burke.
Publishers Description
A secret world of their ownJess Aaron's greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. He's been practicing all summer and can't wait to see his classmates' faces when he beats them all. But on the first day of school, a new kid, a new girl, boldly crosses over to the boy's side of the playground and outruns everyone. That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. It doesn't matter to Jess that leslie dresses funny, or that her family has a lot of money -- but no TV. Leslie has imagination. Together, she and Jess create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits. Then one morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess is able to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him. |

 | Bridge to Terabithia Recommmendation Jun 9, 2008 |
Bridge to Teribithia is a great book! It is about friendship. Jesse, the main character lives with his four sisters, momma, and papa. When Leslie moves in next door, Jesse's life was changed. Jesse and Leslie started Teribithia, an imaginary kingdom where they rule as king and queen.At the end of the book, Leslie mysteriously dies, and Jesse feels like his life is over. May Belle, one of his sisters, becomes queen of Teribithia.
This book is truly great. Jesse stuggles with his life every day. That makes the story more exciting. Katherine Paterson wrote a great story. She wrote it with suspensing moments. This book is good for people of all ages. | | |  | What can I say? Jun 6, 2008 |

What if you could go away to a special that, a land where you had to imangine everything to see it. Well this is the land of Terabithia, Jess and Leslie. Jesses Oliver Aaron, Jr. is in the the fifth grade and want to be the fastest runner in his class. He is also a very good artist. Leslie Burke is also in the fifth grade, and she is the fastest in the class. She has a strong imagination mind. This takes place in sort of earlier times, Terabithia, Lark Creed Elemantary, and in Jesses Farm.
Jesses wasn't the person anyone wanted to hang around and wasn't very social. Until he met Leslie who completley change the way how he saw everything and slowly started changing. The theme is that when something bad happends, you can't let it affect your present life. You have to let go and move on. Brige to Terathita, what the title means is that, basically all it was, was a brige to get to Terabithia.
Leslie moves into the house next to Jesses. They don't talk to each other at first, but then when they start school they see each other again. They still don't talk, Leslie wants to have friends but Jesses doesn't. One day Leslie talks to Jesses, they don't really understand each other at first, but as they spend more time together they become better friends everyday. One day something horrible happen and to find out read the book.
This book was very easy to read. The pacing starts off really slow then speeds up alittle. This was from a third person view. I think that this was written is a Christian Perspective. I recommend this to people who want to finish a book fast for no reason.

| I only just read (twice) Bridge to Terabithia - a book that many people read as a kid, and I'm nearly thirty. I saw the movie first and then I just had to read it, too. And I'm so glad I did! It's funny how you can relate to a ten year old kid at this age, but also wonderful to realize you can. With all the magic (that is really just a child's imagination) the story is so real it's impossible not to feel you're re-living some parts of your childhood, which I found somehow comforting. The book is beautifully written, and when it all seems so serious you're surprised by a line that will make you laugh out loud. In the middle of the night, in my case. | | | | A place, just for us. Feb 25, 2008 |
I almost cried, and I'm not the crying type. I'm the kind of man who breaks things with sledge hammers and swordfights in the backyard. And despite my best effort, my eyes started sweating.
Ten-year-old Jesse Oliver Aarons Jr. wants to be the fastest boy at Lark Creek Elementary. The biggest event on the school playground is the races, and Jesse only won once all last year. So all summer long, he wakes up early each morning to go running, before coming home and milking the cow. It's going to be his be secret, his glorious claim to fame. Summer's ending, school's starting back up, and Jesse's going to win.
Then Leslie Burke moves into the old Perkins place down the street (her parents are "reassessing their value structure). And even though she obliterates the boys in the races and ruins the fun for the whole year, she and Jesse find a way to become friends. The best of friends.
"Do you know what we need?" Leslie asks him. "We need a place, just for us. It would be so secret that we would never tell anyone in the whole world about it."
And Terabithia is born. A place of imagination and friendship, secrets and love. A place where an ordinary boy and girl can rule as king and queen, inventing adventures that they can enjoy together. A place to escape from family and friends who won't let you be who you want to be. A place that can only be entered by swinging across an enchanted rope.
The resulting story is a moving look into the grief one experiences after a tragic accident. With careful and elegant brushstrokes, Peterson paints a canvas rich with the vibrancy of youth, the depth of friendship, and the dark hues of religion and life that sometimes color our journey through life.
If you haven't read this one, treat yourself to a quality novel. 1978 Newbery Award Winner, BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA is worth the time.
