Summary: Bridge to Terabithia
Review: The book "Bridge to Terabithia" is an exquisite and unique book. Even though this book is fictional, it has reasonable and realistic characterscand events. The main characters are Jesse Aarons and Leslie Burke. Jesse, or Jess, is a fifth grade student and loves to run. He runs every morning in a field. On one day as he is running, he meets Leslie. Leslie just moved next door to Jesse. When Jesse and Leslie first associate, it doesn't go well. Leslie is a tomboy. Her hair is short, and she dresses like a boy. She is the outcast of their school. Soon, though, they become close friends. Together they make a secret kingdom called Terabithia where they are the rulers. Here, they escape reality. The ending of the novel, which I will not reveal, has a unexpecting twist of fate. This novel is a good one. And I would definitely recommend it. Thank you for your time.

Summary: Bridge to Terabitia
Review: This book is about a ten-year-old boy, named Jesse, who loves to run and draw. Every morning he gets up and runs. One day he sees a person sitting on a fence post. At first, he cant't tell if it's a girl or boy, so he goes and sees. Jesse finds out that the person is a girl. Her name is Leslie, and she is a real tomboy. Leslie and Jesse are the most important characters in the book. They become really good friends. They are in the same class. Everyday at recess, everybody in the 4th, 5th and 6th grade ran in a race on the playground. Leslie ran one day and won. The next day after school, Jesse and Leslie built a magical kingdom in the woods. They called it Terabithia. One day Miss Edmunds calls Jesse and asks him to go to Washington D.C. with her to visit the art mueseums there. Jesse tells May Belle where he is going and then leaves. When they return, Jesse's mother had been worried to death about him. She also tells him something, and that day turns out to be the saddest day of hs 10 years of living. In order to find out what happens, you will have to read this book. The Bridge to Terabithia made you have different emotions in each chapter, like loving, sadness, happiness, and hatred. This book is a perfect book to read if you become lonely in life. I hope you can get this book and read it.

Summary: Bridge To Terabithia
Review: Welcome to Jesse Aarons' world. The mind of a normal, ten year-old boy growing up in rural America. All he wanted was to be the fastest kid in the fifth grade, and he works the whole summer to achieve this goal. He was sure he was ready. However, he is very disappointed when he looses the race. (Did I mention a GIRL beat him?) Her name is Leslie Burke, an only child and a real tom-boy. She is the main fifth grade outcast because of the way she dresses, the way her hair is cut, and everyone finds it terribly amusing that she doesn't have a TV. She doesn't really care that she won the race. All she wants is a friend. Someone who will stick by her no matter what, and doesn't care what she looks like. Well, as the story goes on, Leslie and Jesse become the best of friends. They soon discover a new world of enchantment in their imaginations, buried deep in the woods. They name it Terabithia. There, they are knighted king and queen. There, they ward off everything from dragons to evil spirits. They even have their own language. Everything is based on the book,"The Chronicals of Narnia." The only way you can enter Terabithia is by swinging on a magical rope. One fatal day, Jesse was unable to meet Leslie and forgot to tell her. When he got home, he was notified that Leslie had died. She was swinging on the rope, the rope broke, and she fell into the raging waters. Now it is up to Jesse to build a bridge so this will never happen again. He assigns his younger sister as the new queen, and the legend of Terabithia continues.

Summary: Read this book, You'll be glad you did
Review: Have you ever read the book"The Bridge to Terabithia"? I have, and it is a really great book. This book is about a girl named Leslie that moves to a town where a little boy named Jesse lives. At first Jesse did not like Leslie because she kept bugging him, but later on he began to like her. They became best friends, and they created a club just for them to be. They called this club Terabithia. Leslie was very curagios. She wasn't afraid of anything. One day she was swinging on a vine across a river to get into Teribithia. Her luck of being curagios ran out. The vine broke and she fell in the river.Since she was all alone.No one could help her so she drown.Jess, her best friend, was devestated when he was told.In memory of her, Jesse built a bridge over the river to Terabithia so no one could slip again. I liked this book because the characters in this book remind me of real people that I know. I would reccomend this book for anyone who likes to read great stories because this sure was a great story. This book was very easy to follow. This book was unbelievealy good. I hope you find the time to read this book. I promise you will be glad you did.

Summary: "Bridge To Terabithia" A Real Tear Jerker
Review: Jess Aaron's number one goal was to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. He's been practicing all summer long. On the first day of school, a new girl named Leslie Burke wants to run. Gary Fulcher said that no girls were allowed to run. Jess gets Gary to let her run by saying that he's afraid to let a girl run. Now she was the fastest. She and Jess become very good friends. They make their own country where they were the only ones allowed. The name of the country is Terabithia. They have to swing on a rope across a creek to get to there secret country. The ending? You will have to find that out for yourself. I think the book was okay. I did not like the book as much as i thought I would. I would recommend this book to people with emotions and a lot of imagination. The ending is real sad and almost brang a tear to my eye.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Bridge to Terabithia
Review: This was a great story,Bridge to Terabithia . I liked Jess, Maybelle, and Prince Terrien. I didn't like Janice Avery, Leslie, or Brenda, Ellie, or Joyce Ann(that little crybaby). I sort of liked it when Leslie(sorry can,t tell you that). She got on my nerves most of the time. Sometimes always getting mad at Jess for no reason. She even ruined the fun the boys used to have running. Also Prince Terrien was a cool pup. Oh yeah, who would want to be king of Terabithia with Leslie as a queen, Yuck! Well still this was a good book. I would read this book if I were you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bridge to Terabithia
Review: The book I read was the Bridge to Terabithia. I really enjoyed this book because it is like my seventh grade life. I have a bully in my school that is almost like Janice Avery. In the bok she is so mean, but inside she is really hurting. Another way Leslie Burkes is so fearless, but in the end her bravery puts her to her doom. In my school some kids think they're so brave by skipping class, but by the end of the day they will probably will end up with ISS. Jess reminds me of myself (except for he is a boy, and i am a girl)! Like Jess, i also love to draw, and I am a sort of normal kid. I have plenty of real close friends too. In my school we have a teacher just like Ms. Edmunds. This teacher dresses sort of weird, he loves to draw, and he loves t odo stuff with kids. I think if you give this book a chance, then you would enjoy it as much as I did. I see why it is the winner of the Newberry Medal!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greats
Review: This story was one of the best stories I have ever read. This story is about a boy named Jesse Arons. He met a new girl at school named Leslie Burke. They became inseparable. It didn't matter that Leslie dressed funny, or had tons of money but no T.V. She had imagination and that was good enough for Jesse. She creates Tersbithia with Jesse and they are the rulers of this magical world. On one day Jesse went on a trip. When he arrives home, there is a deathly silence. He finds out Leslie tried to cross over to the kingdom alone. The water was very deep. She had died in the river. This book is wonderful. You will be touched by this amazing story.

Rating: 5 stars
