Rating: Summary: Awsome Review: I read this book when I was in the fifth grade. I am now going to be a freshman in college. It got me into reading. It had a really sad ending, and all of us cried. It takes alot for me to cry. So curl up and read this book, it will be way, way, worth it.
Rating: Summary: A great story for all ages Review: This is a heartwarming story about a boy and girl who develop a very deep friendship. Proves that boys and girls can be the best of friends and that imagination is one of the best things a kid can have. Also has thought provoking moments as well as humor, this is a wonderful book for all ages. I know I am 25 years old and I still like to read this book from time to time.
Rating: Summary: Bridge to Terabithia Review: Jesse Aarons is getting prepared to be the fastest runner in fifth grade.When school starts a girl named Leslie Burke goes to the boy's side and outruns them all.Jesse is disappionted because now he doesn't have a shot at being the fastest runner when Leslies taking the lead. Leslie starts to talk to Jesse when she moves next to him. They become neighbors,then they hang around together and become best friends.Together they go into the woods and make a kingdom that they both rule with their imaginations. But something makes Jesse and Leslie separate forever they won't be able to have fun together again.Can Jesse handle it? I was really into this book I couldn't put it down but sometimes I had to.The author does a reslly good job on discribing the places it's talking about,"dog wood and red bud played hide and seek between the oak and evergreens and the sun flung itself in golden streams through the trees to splash warmly at their feet".In this piece the author gives the place she's discribing human qualities.I liked it because the dogwood and redbud can't reslly play hide and seek it just seems that way,it also helps you vizaulize it more. I recommend this to anyone who likes reaslistic fiction and about friendship.Because you'll be able to see how they are friends even when they're both diffrent.Also that how this story can be real.
Rating: Summary: Boring Review: This story was well written but the overall theme was extremley boring..for me and all the kids in my class at least.
Rating: Summary: It made me cry! Review: Bridge to terabithia is about a boy [Jesse] and his his friend Leslie. Leslie is a girl with lots of imagination, so her idea was to build a secret magical kingdom [named Terabithia] where Jesse and her would be king and queen; Theres even a prince! Prince terren. [P.T, which is actually a dog. *giggles*] Jesse and Leslies frienship were growing while Terabithia was being ruled with wisdom. Until oneday, Jesse's favourite teacher decides to take Jesse to a wonerfull place, [ sorry, I forgot what place that was] but when Jesse comes back home, he here's the terrible news, Jesse just needs to find a way to keep going with his life, with the help he was given in the past....
Rating: Summary: Mixed messeges Review: While setting some fine examples of how the characters express themselves and their interests, this book sends mixed messages about what is "normal" and how to treat people who don't conform. The main characters Jess and Leslie, are social outsiders who find comfort in each others accepting company. They learn to have compassion for bullies, inept parents, and pestering younger siblings. On the other hand, the book reinforces the notion that fat people are deserving of contempt. In addition, some of the language in the book is inappropriate and a bad example for young people. I was surprised this book won the Newbury and saddened that higher standards weren't applied.
Rating: Summary: Bridge to Terabithia Review: Wow, this is one of the most moving books I've ever read! I am only sorry I waited until I was an adult to read it. This is a wonderful piece of literature. How easy it is for the reader to reach out and take the place of either Jess or Leslie. A wonderful book of friendship, childhood and love. The use of imagination between Leslie and Jess is bound to hit home with every reader. How many of us didn't have a secret place to call our own when we were children? Many of the readers may very well have grown up in a rural area, so the setting may have seemed very familiar to them. Once again, this makes it easy for the reader to step right into the book. Again, Paterson deals with the issue of death in this book. She has done an excellent job of showing the emotions and feelings wrapped up in a child's mind. The theme of friendship is outstanding in this book. I would highly recommend it for all readers, young and old!
