Rating: Summary: Terabithia Review: Jess Aaron started running every day, early in the morning, from the beginning of summer until the start of his fifth grade year. Last year, every boy in the fourth and fifth grade had races during recess, and Jess won once. He was praised all day long, but the next day he lost and was forgotten about. For his fifth grade year, Jess wanted to be the best runner and experience what he experienced the day that he won. That is why he would wake-up very early in the morning, before the rest of his siblings, and start to run. One day when he was running, he met his new neighbor, Leslie. The day that school started, the races began again. Leslie joined in, even though none of the boys wanted her to, and she ran faster than everyone that was racing did. This made Jess very upset because he had been the one who let Leslie join them, and she stole his dream of becoming the fastest kid in the 5th grade. He hated her for a while, but finally they became friends and were practically inseparable. The two of them created a fort that they pretended was a magical land, and became the rulers. I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a great story for young children, and shows the power of friendship. The story got me extremely emotional, and I always wanted to know what would happen next. The only problem that I had with it was the way that some of the characters would talk with a southern accent and I didn't always follow what they were saying because of this. Bridge to Terabithia is a great book, and I highly recommend that you read it.
Rating: Summary: Bridge To Terabithia Review: I sobbed out loud in this book. I don't know when else I've ever cried that hard. This must be one of the best, most touching, most well written books ever. It makes you cry all the more because suspense builds and when the news comes out it's like the reality of something awful happening to you. If I could I'd rate this higher than a five. I highly recomend this whether you are old, young, popular, iscolated, or hate, or like to read. I'm only 11 but I read A LOT! and fast and this book must be one of the best.
Rating: Summary: I Only Wish I Could Give it More Stars Review: I LOVED "Bridge to Terebithia". My fourth grade teacher gave it to me four years ago and I still cry whenever I re-read it. The story starts out with Jess, a fourth-grader sandwiched in a family of girls with his Dad gone on his job all of the time. Then he meets Leslie, a tomboy who moved into the house next door. After trying repeatedly to shake her off, Jess finds out that, *sigh* she IS worth his while. They then start an imaginary kingdom, "Terebithia" in the woods behind Leslie's house, where they have all sorts of adventures. But then something happens that will change Jess' life forever. . . I highly recommend this book. It was great.
Rating: Summary: From a 6th Graders point of view Review: I think that this book was good, yet boring. I think that the author should've made it a little more interesting. We did liteature circles and my whole group rated this book a 2. I think the subject and idea (main idea) is a great idea. yet i also think it should be re written so more kids would like it. Otherwise it was o-k not the best.
Rating: Summary: Full of Wonder Review: ...I will never forget my 5th grade teacher reading this book to my class. Every day at the end of language arts the entire class would quite with anticipation as Ms. Kresky read Bridge to Terabitha to us. I am now a 30 year old man, and from time to time, on a wet and raining day, my mind will drift back to the world that Jess and Leslie created.....
Rating: Summary: Bridge To Terabithia Review: This book was good but, some of the language was bad. I was prepared for the trajedy but, it was still sad. This story as a whole was pretty good.
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: I thought this was a good book. I liked the whole thing. The only part I didn't really like was the end.
Rating: Summary: Michelle's Bridge to Terebithia Review Review: The Book "Bridge to Terebithia" was a great book. It was filled with tons of wonderful and adventurious journeys! In the book, Jess Arrons wants to be the fastest kid in the fourth and fifth grades! He practices every day to be it! When the big day finnaly comes, a girl named,Leslie Burk comes and beats him. Now, Jess is very upset but they find out that they are a perfect friends! On their way home, on the bus, the bully...Janice...makes fun of Leslie, and Jess standes up for her.They decide after that, that they want to be friends! They spend everyday after school hiding out in their hide-out called...Terebithia. They have to swing on a magical rope to get to it! They built it them selves and no one else knows about it. Jess was the loyal King and Leslie was the pretty Queen! Well, back at school, Jess' favorite teacher, Miss. Edmunds, has a bond with Jess and Leslie. When Jess was at home, he got a phone call from Miss. Edmunds. She wanted him to go to Washington with him. So they went and had a great time. When Jess got back, he got the news that Leslie had died. His best and only friend at school, his girlfriend, his companion and his soul mate! He knew he should have asked if Leslie could come with him and Miss. Edmunds to go to Washington...but he didn't! He was hurt soooooooooooo badly that he went to Terebithia and made a wreath and a funeral that only he,Jess, attended! Just as he started to walk out...He heard his second youngest sister, May Belle's voice. She had followed him to Terebithia but wasn't supposed to. Jess said... " I think you may be the next Queen of Terebithia!" This book had many high points and low points. This book I think is 6th grade through 8th grade leval. This is my review of...The Bridge to Terebithia!
