Bridge to Terabithia

Summary: A good gift for your grandkids!
Review: I have given this book to 2 of my grandchildren, 1 boy, and 1 girl, ages 11-12 and they have loved it. My grandson says it is his 2nd favorite book he has ever read. It is an old classic about friendship between 2 fifth-graders, boy and girl, and an imaginary place they share. It is a sad story, but one that they will remember and treasure always, as part of their growing up years. Standing the test of time, it is considered a young readers classic.

Summary: Touching
Review: This is the story of two children who become great friends and end up playing in a world not like their own. A pretend world. A world better than our own. I read this book in 5th grade, two years ago, and would read it again and again.

Summary: Friendship is Powerful
Review: This story is about a great friendship between a boy Jess and a girl Leslie, both of whom are in the fifth grade. Both seem to be outcasts with no friends. Leslie is from a liberal family, who moved from the city, and Jess is from a more traditional family, who lives in the country. Leslie and Jess appear to be searching for appreciation and acceptance. Jess has a hidden talent, but the only person that understands and supports his drawings is the music teacher. Jess tries to become the fastest runner of the fifth grade boys to gain respect from classmates, his parents, and his other teacher, but Leslie wins the race. After a few approaches from Leslie, they begin a wonderful trusting relationship of creativity and understanding. They imaginatively create "Terabithia," a kingdom in the woods where they are the king and queen of their secret place. Jess builds up his low self-esteem with Leslie's imaginative ideas and encouragement. It is not until a tragedy occurs that Jess realizes the strength and courage Leslie has given him.
The main theme of Bridge to Terabithia is friendship. But, it is a story packed with many realistic concepts and issues that children and adults encounter in their everyday lives. The author does a wonderful job with descriptive language to provide vivid imagery and feeling throughout the book. Children in the intermediate grade levels can get a better understanding of how the issues presented in the book make people feel and react. There are many realistic conflicts from the beginning to the ending of the book. The reader can also observe how the characters use their friendship to dramatically change their lives even though other characters in the story remain static. In the beginning Jess is a very fearful character with no direction, but in the end he overcomes all his fears and becomes a new courageous person.

Summary: Great Book !
Review: I really enjoyed this book! As a child I read it, and as a 21 year old I read it again; it was a good as I remembered it. I love the "secret kingdom" that Jess and Leslie have. It reminds me of places I used to go when I was a kid. This book takes you in and takes you away, while teaching some important lessons along the way. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Brigde To Terabithia
Review: The reason I can't tell about the ending is that the other kids
would know about it. The book has great deatals because it:s an a maginary place,and somethign bad happens in the storyand the author tells about it.Leslie has cool ideas to talk about and Jesse dosn't do thoes cool things.when Leslie reads she immagin things like, makes up places and stories. But Jess doesn't do that. He just draws and colors and paints.
Terabithia is an imaginary place because Leslie and Jesse are keeping it a secret. But then Jesse gets a puppy for Leslie and she takes it home. Then her parents find out and she gets in trouble. That's why Leslie and Jesse ignore each other in school.
The reason I like the book is that there is an imigainary place.

Summary: A very good book, though it contains some hard lessons...
Review: This was a very sad, very difficult book. Not because of difficult language or readability, but because of the intense lessons it teaches about grieving and death. This book cannot be read lightly. It takes you throught the main character's process of making a new friend, learning to love and trust her, having that trust betrayed, and finally, learning to move on with his life. Despite its deep and painful context, this book was very worthwhile, and I completely reccomend you give it a try!

Summary: MY REVEIW
Review: I realy like the book Bridge to Teribithia.I think some of the parts are really interesting but other parts just focus on Jesse and milking cows. I think it would be really tireing if someone woke up early in the morning and ran around the feild for about two hours like Jesse did. Jesse only has two friends lesslie and Ms. Edmunds.
Jesse and Lesslie go to Teribithia with eachother. Jesse and Lesslie are the king queen of Teribithia. Teribithia is a amaginary place.My favorite part was when they found Terabithia. I recommend this book.

Summary: TERIBITHA
Review: In the begging of the book Jess meets a girl named Leslie.Jess was the fastest runner in the fithgrade.In the middle of book they invent Teribitha. Jesse and Leslie go to Terabithia across a gulley on a rope. At the end Jesse tells May Belle about Terabithia. My favorite part is when Leslie tells about the gaint killers. In one part it is sad.
