Summary: A never forgeting story
Review: When my class chose this book to read I thought it will be a boring book, but it was a sad and interesting story. The death of the queen of Terabithia was the turning point, until Jesse Aarons found a new queen. Leslie Burke was a very confident girl and was the one who gave Jesse all of his confidence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Andrew's review
Review: Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Patterson is about two kids named Jess and Leslie. Jess and Leslie do everything together. They build a secret place in the woods called Terabithia. Leslie had never been to church before so she went to church with Jess and his family. They spent every day together. Jess helped Leslie and her family fix up their house. At school they even played a joke on the school bully, Janice Avery. One day Jess went off and spent the day with his music teacher, Ms. Edmonds. When he got back he found out that something bad had happened. Bridge to Terabithia was interesting to me because Jess and Leslie had to keep Terabithia to themselves and not tell any one about it. It made me think about my secret hiding place that I go to when I am upset about something or just want to think.

Summary: An Enduring Favorite
Review: Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, is a true to life story that takes place in rural Virginia during modern times. Jesse Aarons Jr. is determined to become the fastest runner in the fifth grade. Little does he realize, his life is about to drastically change. The Old Perkins Place that has been empty for quite some time is now occupied. The Burkes: Bill, Judy and their young daughter, Leslie, have just arrived from the big city. The friendship between these two young characters leads to many adventures. Will Jesse realize his dream of becoming the fastest runner? Will the Burkes actually stay in the Old Perkins Place? (It seems nobody ever does!) And what about Janice Avery, the seventh grade bully? Will Jesse and Leslie be able to survive her constant threats? Can Jesse and Leslie's relationship last forever? Find out the answers to these questions and many more when you read Bridge to Terabithia! Our fifth grade class enjoyed this story very much because many of us could relate to the themes in this book. It is a well-deserved winner of the Newbery Medal. We recommend this book to upper grade students because of the mature story line and vocabulary. This is a book that won't disappoint you, so make the effort to pick it up and read it!

Summary: A bridge to a new and different place.
Review: &#65279;Imagine a society, in which everyone conforms and is restricted to the same routine, the same dress-code, and the same ideals as everyone else day after day; a society where all that is different and new must be either suppressed or shunned. This was the only world that Jess Aarons, Katherine Patterson's main character in the book Bridge to Terabithia, knew. He was a fifth grader, whose greatest ambition was to be the fastest runner in his grade. Coincidentally, this was also the greatest ambition of all the other fifth grade boys. It took a girl, Leslie Burkes, to lead him over the bridge, away from that world of black and white, into Terabithia. Leslie was a butterfly surrounded by moths in this strange world. She was able to laugh off the frowns and raised eyebrows that so often fell on her. She refused to be conformed and didn't care what people thought of her. You would think she wouldn't last long in this town of ruthless little machines, but it is a strange paradox that she is finally conquered by Terabithia and her own imagination. I found this rather out of place in a book with the obvious message of how healthy the imagination of a child is. Miss Edmunds served as Jess's bridge to the world of art, and helped further Jess's hidden desire to be an artist. At least, that was the authors intent, I found Miss Edmunds rather loose and careless and kept wishing that she would just let Jess alone. After Leslie is gone, Jess realizes that she has opened up a whole new world to him but he also realizes there is no longer a way to go back. "She had made him leave his old self behind and come into her world, and then before he was really at home in it but too late to go back, she had left him there - like an astronaut wandering about on the moon. Alone." But fortunately Jess finds his second bridge to Terabithia, in his sister, May Belle who brings out his hidden imagination. It is then that he can realize the full extent of what Leslie did for him. " It was Leslie who had taken him from the cow pasture into Terabithia and turned him into a king."

Summary: A Must Read!
Review: I remember my teacher reading this book to us in 8th grade. It was the best book I had ever read at that point. It said so honestly and openly the struggles and fears of growing close to someone and then losing them. I highly recommend this to any person who wants to read and have a good cry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Indescribable. Without a doubt, my all time fave!
Review: There is no point in reviewing what the book is about, that's what all the other reviews say, so I'm just going to give you a brief bit of info. I first read this book in fourth grade, and fell in love with it. I have read it 11 times since (my paperback copy is falling apart from wear), and never fail to admit that this is the best book I have ever read. Never to be referred to as a children-only book, it is beautifully realistic and brutally honest in content. It has brought forth laughs and tears both from me. So rent it, love it, go buy it, and then share it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love This Book!
Review: We had to read this book in school for my fifth grade class. I loved this book so much that I couldn't wait until the next reading class so I could read it. If you like books that keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the book for you. If you want my opinion, this is one of the greatest books ever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Maya's review
Review: Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Patterson, is about a boy and a girl who become good friends. They build a secret place that only they know about. They go to this secret place if they want to be alone. Jess is a boy that lives on a small farm. Leslie moves next door to him. Jess and Leslie became good friends. Together they build a secret castle that they go to after school often. Leslie went to church with Jess for the first time. Jess helped Leslie fix up her house. They even played a joke on Janice Avery, the bully of the school. Jess and Leslie do almost everything together. One day, Jess didn't go to Terabithia with Leslie. He went with his music teacher to Washington for a day. When he comes home he hears shocking news. He knew his life wouldn't be the same anymore. I liked the book a lot because it told how two people became good friends. I liked their imaginary and adventurous world because it was exciting. It was interesting because it showed how becoming close friends and then hearing shocking news can effect life. It was a great book.
