Summary: Absolutely beautiful.
Review: I read this book for the first time in fourth grade and several more times after that. I just finished it again for my college Children's Literature class and I think I love it more than ever, definitely the mark of a classic. Such an honest, real story about friendship and loss. It still makes me cry, probably even more now that I'm older. :-)

Summary: Sad, beautiful, and a very important book!
Review: This book made me cry when I was a kid, but it was a very important book to me. Now that I've reread it, I'm struck by Paterson's bravery in addressing the death of a child and how it affects another child. It's a difficult subject beautifully rendered. Thank you, Katherine. I'd recommend this as a great book for a parent to share and discuss with a child.

Summary: A book every child should read...
Review: A Bridge to Terabithia is an all time classic. It is awonderful down to earth story about a friendship between tomboy freshin from the big city and a local country boy. As they become fast friends they develop a world of fantasy for themselves. This is a book I first read when I was ten years old and I still go back and laugh and cry over the same tear stained pages twelve yaers later. I highly recommend this book, for the young and not so young.

Summary: A Great Friendship
Review: Have you ever wanted a good friend? If you answered "yes", then you should read Bridge to Terabithia. This interesting and exciting book about friendship will teach you about love, determination, and loss. Jess Aarons wants to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade, but when his new neighbor, Leslie Burke, comes to school the challenge is even harder for him. Even though Jess didn't become the fastest runner, he found a new friend in Leslie. Jess and Leslie also found a magical place in the woods that they called Terabithia. It was a private place just for them. Jess likes to draw, he's a good friend, and he's nice. Jess has two older sisters. They're lazy, selfish, whiney, and bossy. Jess also has a younger sister named Maybelle. She follows him everywhere like a cute little puppy, but he draws the line when it comes to Terabithia. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who likes great books about friendship.

Summary: How i dis-liked the book
Review: This book "Bridge to Terrabithia" was an o-k book. being a 13 year old in New York, i thought the book was a little boring. The best part was the ending, and i hate books where you have to wait all the way to the end to get an exciting part. But it had a great story about a true solid and excellent friendship between 2 main characters. I think that this book is a good book but like i said if i could change it i would definetly change the sequence of events. I think the author did an excellent job in describing this book, but didn't emphasize in the thoughts of the reader. Yet this book was a little boring, it was inspirational, and a great childrens book. I would DEFINETLY recomend it to other people *OF ALL AGES* so please go to your library and take out this book!
