Summary: Bridge To Terabithia a review by Meghan
Review: Do you believe in magical, mystical, and adventurous places? If so, do I have a book for you, and it's called Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. The main character or protagonist is a 10-year-old boy named Jess. He is going into fifth grade at Lark Creek Elementary. This year Jess will have an experience he'll never forget.
There's a new girl at Lark Creek Elementary, named Leslie Burke and she moves in next door to Jess. The two of them become friends and decide to construct a secret world where they're the rulers and can do whatever they please. The thing is though; you can't just walk and get in. No, you must swing across Lark Creek (by rope) to get to this special place.
During spring vacation the rain is relentless. Leslie and Jess are embittered because they can't go to Terabithia. That day Jess gets a phone call from his teacher who wants him to go to an art museum, and Jess could not resist because he loves art and loves to draw. So he goes with her. That day Leslie goes to Terabithia for the last time without Jess at her side. Leslie never comes back from Terabithia. That muddy day left Jess speechless.
If you're interested in finding out what happened, read this great edge of seat book for yourself.

Summary: Bridge to Terabithia
Review: Bridge to Terabithia was a wonderfully written book. It explained the many perils of life and how difficult life can be. A young ten-year-old boy, by the name of Jess Aarons lives with his family on a farm. When a new girl and her family move into the old Perkins place, Jess knows that they won't stay very long. "No one ever stay's long in the Perkins place," Jess's mother would say. Jess and the girl, Leslie Burke, become wonderful friends. They do everything together. They even make up a magical kingdom called Terabithia. Jess and Leslie make great friends. Jess has the smarts and the athleticism and Leslie has the imagination and strength. They teach each other lessons that will never be forgotten. When one day something unexpected happens. The whole of Jess's world goes off tilter and he doesn't know how to respond. Somehow, with Leslie's help, he is able to get through.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I thought that Katherine Patterson wrote in the mind of a ten-year-old boy very well and she knew just what they would think in a tragedy. I enjoyed reading about Jess and his family. Many times Jess would not get along with the rest of his family and he would just need a break from them, but when he needed them the most, they were there for him. Jess and Leslie were wonderful friends from the start. You could tell that Leslie was special to Jess when he gave her Prince Terrien, the puppy, for Christmas one year. Jess and Leslie cared about each other and had big plans. I thought that their family's supported their friendship very well. I enjoyed every aspect of the book. I thought the writing was fluent and it always made since. I also thought that the writing style kept me interested in Jess's life and what happened next.
There were not many things that I disliked about the book. The one major event that made me lose focus was the tragedy. I thought that it became very predictable. Once the story became closer and closer to the tragedy many events took place that practically told you what was about to happen. Such as, the thunderstorm and the fact that Jess left for the day. Katherine Patterson started to give all of these clues that almost TOLD you what was going to happen next in the book. I thought that this aspect made the book less enjoyable. When an author gives away the ending to a story it is no fun to read the rest of the book. I thought this was the one minor flaw that Katherine Patterson had as a writer.
Bridge to Terabithia was a well-written book that I would recommend to a reader of all ages. It is an exciting book that made you want to keep reading and it also was an interesting book that made you think twice about many aspects of life. It made me think about how strong a friendship can be and how important your family is to you. Bridge to Terabithia was a great book and I think that you should consider reading about the life of Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke as they lead you through the magical kingdom of Terabithia.

Summary: A Book that Touches your Heart
Review: Bridge to Terabithia is a realistic fiction book. It is about a boy named Jesse who has an ambition to draw, but can¡¯t because everyone judges him. He takes up running because he hopes that might make his dad proud of him, and also because he likes winning the daily races at his school. All summer long, he wakes up early so he can practice running and be the best at racing when he goes back to school. While running, he meets his new neighbor, Leslie, who is soon to be his newfound best friend. At first Jesse hates Leslie because she beats him at racing, but they slowly become friends. As they become friends, he realizes that Leslie isn¡¯t like anyone he has ever met before, somehow, she makes things seem magical in her own way. One thing that she made magical was Terabithia, the place that she and Jesse make for themselves. ¡°We need a place,¡± she said, ¡°just for us.¡± Terabithia is the place that Jesse and Leslie share their secrets, dreams and hopes, but they didn¡¯t know that someday Terabithia would build a tragedy.
I loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone, boy or girl. It is a great book because it shows the true meaning of friendship, and also teaches you that it is okay to be friends with a boy when you are a girl. This book is touching and you never want to put it down and it¡¯s a definite page-turner. This genre is great for anyone to read because the plot is believable but is also fiction; Bridge to Terabithia used the genre to show you the love of a family, and how important friendship is.

Summary: WOW
Review: The name of the book I choose is Bridge to Terabithia. The author of the book is Katherine Paterson. I choose this book because it is good. There are a lot of surprising moments too. Like the end of the book is very surprising. My favorite part of the story is when Jesse gives Leslie P.T (Prince Terrian). I would recommend this to a friend because I think it is good and a lot of other things but maybe some of my friends might not like the book Bridge to Terabithia.

Summary: Some Say It's Good and, Sad, but it's Just Bad
Review: This was a horrible book. In 5th grade I had to read this book for a lit study, and boy that was enough. The book's plot is so idiotic, and NOT SAD just stupid. I can't tell you the plot though, because that will give away the ending, but I can't do that. This book will also never have the word isn't in it just the word ain't. I know it's good to have good voice in the story, but it over uses it. It would be different if it was in 1st person, but is in third, and they all talk like hillbillies. If the story took place in a swamp in Louisiana that would be different, but it doesn't, plus it's in the 1970's when the English was more developed. Please do me a favor, and don't read it. Okay?

Summary: Bridge to Terabithia
Review: For every kid who ever thought that he was nothing special, this book can connect to his heart and let him know he is not alone. Jess Aarons is the middle child, and only boy, in a family of girls who do nothing more than try to spend their life window shopping and leave the house and farm work to him. Leslie Burke is the only child of two writers who she doesn't even call mom and dad. She is expected to be something great but whoever got to be great with nothing more than an imagination?

Jess had one goal, to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. After a summer of practice he would be unstoppable. But when Leslie comes into town Jess is in for a surprise. This girl isn't like the rest of them, she wants to run too, and so she does. She runs right past every boy in the school, crushing Jess's dream. So starts a most interesting friendship, full of dreams that Jess could never have imagined. Through the joys and struggles of fifth grade, the kingdom they create, Terabithia, is their safe refuge. And they rule together as king and queen until tragedy strikes their world. Will their kingdom and their dreams be enough to see them through?

Jess and Leslie's friendship can teach that the love of one not-so-special person can change the world of another.
