Summary: Bridge to Terabithia (a great and touching book)
Review: This book is a very good book. I beleive the ending is kind of sad though. I think u should read this book

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Depressing!
Review: I had to read this book for school. At first I liked it but I was shocked later on at the profanity. When I reached the end of the book I was very upset. If you don't like reading about death and poverty don't read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quietly, brilliantly devastating
Review: Some years ago several friends and I were trying to remember the first book we'd read which focused on loss. "Lord of the Flies" came first to mind...and then I mentioned Terabithia. One of the others looked at me, eyes wide. "I'd forgotten about that completely...I cried for two days...."

So had I.

It's interesting to read the reviews; the negatives are to be expected. Typically, it's from those with a neo-Victorian view of childhood as a time of innocence and sweetness, where only corrupting influences (like realistic novels) lead to wickedness. No, I'm afraid, children can be nasty, wicked and cruel all on their own. The best antidote is in words that sear empathy into the soul. Terabithia does that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book will touch anyone who reads it!
Review: This book made me see how attached young children can get. Even if they are members of the opposite sex. I think it was the most heart-touching book I have ever read. I recommend this book to anyone, young and old!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If I only had one book to offer a child- this would be it.
Review: Bridge to Terabithia is one of the absolute best children's books that I have ever read. In the magical land of Terabithia Jesse and Leslie find an escape from the outside world. However, they also find courage and friendship. A tradgey occurs and Jesse must learn to cope with it. Death in a children's book is unusual. This is a great book to introduce a child to this natural occurence and open the lines of communication. Bridge to Terabithia will make you laugh, cry, and feel good. Pick this book up it is worth it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A touching story that will make you cry!
Review: Book Review for Bridge to Terabithia

Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, takes place in a small town outside of Washington, D.C. The main characters in the book are Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke. Jess and Leslie become best friends and they create from their imagination a kingdom in the place,' she whispered. 'Even the rulers of Terabithia come into it only at times of greatest sorrow or of greatest joy. We must strive to keep it sacred'" (Bridge to Terabithia , p.47).

Terabithia is a special world only for Jess and Leslie, where they can be anything and not have to good thing, for how could Jess have ever explained it to an outsider? ...The closer he came to the dry creek bed and the crab apple tree rope the more he could feel the beating of his heart. He grabbed the end of the rope and swung out toward the other bank with a kind of wild exhilaration and landed gently on his feet, taller and stronger and wiser in that mysterious land (Bridge to Terabithia, p.46).

Terabithia makes them feel better about themselves, gives them strength and makes them feel brave. When a terrible tragedy occurs, Jess is able to move on because of the strength that Terabithia and his friendship with Leslie gave to him.

My favorite part in the Bridge to Terabithia is when Jess and Leslie build Terabithia. This is my favorite part in the book for many reasons. The first reason is that Terabithia starts Jess and Leslie's friendship. Secondly, Terabithia helps Jess and Leslie escape from their bullies, family and other problems. In addition to Terabithia providing an escape for Jess and Leslie, it also gives them courage to take on new and scary things. Finally, Terabithia gives Jess and Leslie confidence in themselves. I think that Bridge to Terabithia is a touching story that may make you cry, but is worth reading.

Rating: 5 stars
