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 Lelsie had died. His best and only friend at school, his girlfriend, his companion and his soal 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 amde 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!

Summary: This book was great--I loved it!
Review: This book was great--I read it for a reading class. I loved the way it started out--but I didn't really like the ending--it was really sad! Below is a little bit if background information. The beginning of the book starts out with Mrs. Patterson explaing each character--like may Belle and Jesse along with Leslie. It tells about Jess wanting to be the fastest and about the first day of school. In the middle of the book, it tells about how jess and leslie form their own little world called Terabithia, and what they do their. IT also talks about how they plan to do certain things and get revenge on Janice Avery. In the end Something devastating happens to Jess after an almost perfect day. It goes on to describe how Jess and the Aaron's family cope with it. I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will too!

Summary: Tragic but Delightful
Review: The book The Bridge to Terabithia is one of the most wonderful books I've read in all my childhood. My friend, without thinking, told me that there would be a sad part at the end of the book. Trust me: there is. If you cry at sad movies, you will cry at the end of this book. But still, I highly recommend it to kids in third grade and over.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Shelby's Bridge to Terabithia Review
Review: *~* A boy named Jess Aarons was training to be the fastest kid in the fifth grade. Then, a new family moved into the old Perkin place. The new girl Leslie ruined his dream, and turned out to be the fastest kid in the fifth grade. In the beginning, Jess was upset that a new girl, who dressed sloppy on the first day of school, didn't have a television, and was very daring, was faster than he was. Then Jess and Leslie ended up becoming great friends. Jess decided that being friends with a "girl" wasn't so bad after all! After being friends, they decided to build a secret retreat, called Terabithia. To get to their secret retreat, they had to cross the river, by swinging on a rope. Jess was the King, and Leslie was the Queen. Leslie and Jess loved going there, until it rained. When it did rain, the river would swell, and Jess was afraid, because he couldn't swim. One day, Jess went to Washington with his teacher Mrs. Edmunds. (Jess had a secret crush on Mrs. Edmunds!) While he was gone, Leslie decided to go Terabithia, by herself. A tragic thing happened. When Jess got back, he found out that Leslie died. Leslie's dad said that she died going to Terabithia. He said that she was swinging on the rope, when the rope snapped! In honor of Leslie, Jess made a wreath and a bridge to Terabithia. With the bridge there, he would be able to cross over the river on it, and not have to swing on a rope! *~*

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tear Jerker!
Review: My students and I completely loved this story of an unlikely friendship between Jess and Leslie. The story picks up fast and never slows down. My students hated to hear the timer go off because they knew we were out of time for the day. This is one of those stories that a reader can get lost in and hate to see end. I'd heard it was a wonderful book, but I never would have believed how wonderful had I not read it myself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: touching dramatic book
Review: I love this book. I'm not sure when I first read it. Maybe in fourth grade. It made a strong impression. These were real characters that I could relate to. The kids in school who made fun of what they don't understand, the younger sister who wants to come along when she isn't welcome. This book made me feel more grown up. The events in the book are tragic and yet show how you can take the good things and honor them by sharing and passing them on.

My sister is not a reader. She has finished three works of fiction that were not forced on her in school. Bridge to Terabithia is still her favorite book, fifteen years later.
