Summary: Great Book! I want to buy it!
Review: This book starts off dull. I almost stopped listening, however, when Leslie shows up the suspence can longer stay! The people in the book have great adventures together! Then SOMETHING happens! The two are sperated forever. You'll just have to buy it and read it to find out what happened. I did.

Summary: Best sad book I've ever read
Review: I liked this book because Leslie taught Jess imagination. Leslie taught Jess that he could be who he wanted to be. I think that all of the kids in the world should read it.

Summary: One of the best children's books ever written
Review: I first read this book when I was in fifth grade, and today, at age 27, I still find it beautiful and powerful. The simplicity of the words is truly like a sophisticated poetry I wish more poets understood. No matter your age, no matter if you are a child or a parent, I strongly hope that you will give yourself the present of reading this most wonderful, tragic, uplifting novel. I envy first-time readers who will be introduced to this work, but I wouldn't give up my 17-year friendship with it for anything. Enjoy!

Summary: Reads like real life
Review: Kids will love this book because it reads like real life. There are times in Bridge to Terabithia where there is such joy and hope and love---and at other times, sheer despair. The characters are absolutely believable, and the dialogue rings true. But beyond that, the story is just so genuine. I wish I'd had a friend like Jess or Leslie growing up.

Summary: A Very Good Book!
Review: "My name's Leslie." From this normal beginning, a breath taking story unravels over pages to a great book, The Bridge To Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson. It tells a story of a boy named Jess who lives in the country. A few chapters into the book, he's bound to find that a young girl, Leslie Burke, moves into the "old perkin's place." Jess wants nothing to do with Leslie until he finds out how fast and talented she is at running. You see, all summer Jess has been working to be the fastest kid in the fifth-grade. When he finds that Leslie beats him the first day of school he is frustrated, yet fasinated at the same time. He's around Leslie quite alot because they're in the same class, and live next door to each other. Jess soon finds that Leslie isn't too bad, and quickly they become the very best of friends. They make a place called Terabithia. Leslie is queen, and Jess is king. They go to Terabithia alot, and share many great adventures until BOOM, something happens. Katherine Paterson uses very descriptive phrases to put a clear picture in your mind. She also uses catchy words so that you don't ever get bored. This book was exciting, sad, and funny at the same time. I think one of the main reasons it was so good was because the author explains and tells a good story so well. I don't think there is anything I would change in this book if I had a chance. It is all so exciting and clear. I thought this book was good for only one more reason. When you are in the middle of the book, you know what is going on, but you don't really know what the point of all the information is. When you read some of the last few pages, it all comes together inside your head, and BANG, it all comes clear. There is a reason for the name of this book, and if you want to know, I sugest you take a trip to the library.

Summary: So sad...
Review: Gosh, that book was sad. It felt so real, them going about their lives and playing games and all. The book made wish that I had a Terabithia. But when Leslie died I started sobbing. And I do not cry at books, so you know how sad it was.
