Summary: Childhood favorite...Grown-up favorite!
Review: I read this book for the first time in 5th grade as part of a reading group project. I was already an avid reader and had never encountered such a touching and powerful work. The story has stuck with me since then and I purchased the book (the one read in grade school was school property) some years ago when I was in high school and whenever I am in the mood to be reminded of the innocence and not-so-innocence of childhood I pull out my tattered copy and read it.
I cannot wait until I have children of my own so that I may share this meaningful story.
It is good for all ages, although children under the age of 10 may not understand the depth and may be frightened by the confrontational nature in which the story deals with the sadnesses of life. I feel that anyone from 10 to 100 could find something meaningful in this book!

Summary: One of the saddest books I've ever read
Review: I love this book, but it is sad. The friendship between the two main characters is so deep and ... well, I can't say too much about this book without revealing the ending, but let's just say that the book is about the loss of friendship, the love of two friends, and guilt. People who ban this book or don't want their kids to read it are a little over-protective. The emotions are strong, and so the loss is deeply felt. But the life lesson taught in this novel is one that cannot be ignored or blocked out. I love this book, but the message and subject aren't to be taken lightly. And don't forget your Kleenex.

Summary: Changed my life
Review: It did. It is wonderfully written, with actual emotions. I first read this book in the 6th grade and I completely identified with the characters. While it is a children's book, it has real emotions and situations which many adults find themselves in. It has been 10 years since I first read it, but I still manage to read it at least once a year. The characters encourage imagination, courage, passion and love. Even though the characters are only in the 5th grade, through their thoughts they can convey a huge range of ideas.Many books such as Harry Potter do not measure up, I am however biased with the change in generation...regardless. The language it is written is at a childrens level, but even reading it now, it does not detract from what the book means. It is a wonderful story which everyone should read, and have their children read.

Summary: Really Great and Sad Book
Review: This book was very great, it is about a boy, Jesse and a girl, Leslie. Jesse lives on a farm. The closest farm is a couple of blocks away, but no one lives in it. Then Leslie moves in there. Together, Jesse and Leslie make a make-believe castle called Terabithia. At the end of the book, disaster strikes. Then Jesse's world turned upside down.
I recommend this book for ages 9-12.

This is a great book and I definately say: READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
