Summary: Bridge To Terabithia
Review: Welcome to Jesse Aarons' world. The mind of a normal, ten year-old boy growing up in rural America. All he wanted was to be the fastest kid in the fifth grade, and he works the whole summer to achieve this goal. He was sure he was ready. However, he is very disappointed when he looses the race. (Did I mention a GIRL beat him?) Her name is Leslie Burke, an only child and a real tom-boy. She is the main fifth grade outcast because of the way she dresses, the way her hair is cut, and everyone finds it terribly amusing that she doesn't have a TV. She doesn't really care that she won the race. All she wants is a friend. Someone who will stick by her no matter what, and doesn't care what she looks like. Well, as the story goes on, Leslie and Jesse become the best of friends. They soon discover a new world of enchantment in their imaginations, buried deep in the woods. They name it Terabithia. There, they are knighted king and queen. There, they ward off everything from dragons to evil spirits. They even have their own language. Everything is based on the book,"The Chronicals of Narnia." The only way you can enter Terabithia is by swinging on a magical rope. One fatal day, Jesse was unable to meet Leslie and forgot to tell her. When he got home, he was notified that Leslie had died. She was swinging on the rope, the rope broke, and she fell into the raging waters. Now it is up to Jesse to build a bridge so this will never happen again. He assigns his younger sister as the new queen, and the legend of Terabithia continues.

Summary: Read this book, You'll be glad you did
Review: Have you ever read the book"The Bridge to Terabithia"? I have, and it is a really great book. This book is about a girl named Leslie that moves to a town where a little boy named Jesse lives. At first Jesse did not like Leslie because she kept bugging him, but later on he began to like her. They became best friends, and they created a club just for them to be. They called this club Terabithia. Leslie was very curagios. She wasn't afraid of anything. One day she was swinging on a vine across a river to get into Teribithia. Her luck of being curagios ran out. The vine broke and she fell in the river.Since she was all alone.No one could help her so she drown.Jess, her best friend, was devestated when he was told.In memory of her, Jesse built a bridge over the river to Terabithia so no one could slip again. I liked this book because the characters in this book remind me of real people that I know. I would reccomend this book for anyone who likes to read great stories because this sure was a great story. This book was very easy to follow. This book was unbelievealy good. I hope you find the time to read this book. I promise you will be glad you did.

Summary: "Bridge To Terabithia" A Real Tear Jerker
Review: Jess Aaron's number one goal was to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. He's been practicing all summer long. On the first day of school, a new girl named Leslie Burke wants to run. Gary Fulcher said that no girls were allowed to run. Jess gets Gary to let her run by saying that he's afraid to let a girl run. Now she was the fastest. She and Jess become very good friends. They make their own country where they were the only ones allowed. The name of the country is Terabithia. They have to swing on a rope across a creek to get to there secret country. The ending? You will have to find that out for yourself. I think the book was okay. I did not like the book as much as i thought I would. I would recommend this book to people with emotions and a lot of imagination. The ending is real sad and almost brang a tear to my eye.

Summary: The Bridge to Terabithia
Review: This was a great story,Bridge to Terabithia . I liked Jess, Maybelle, and Prince Terrien. I didn't like Janice Avery, Leslie, or Brenda, Ellie, or Joyce Ann(that little crybaby). I sort of liked it when Leslie(sorry can,t tell you that). She got on my nerves most of the time. Sometimes always getting mad at Jess for no reason. She even ruined the fun the boys used to have running. Also Prince Terrien was a cool pup. Oh yeah, who would want to be king of Terabithia with Leslie as a queen, Yuck! Well still this was a good book. I would read this book if I were you.

Summary: Bridge to Terabithia
Review: The book I read was the Bridge to Terabithia. I really enjoyed this book because it is like my seventh grade life. I have a bully in my school that is almost like Janice Avery. In the bok she is so mean, but inside she is really hurting. Another way Leslie Burkes is so fearless, but in the end her bravery puts her to her doom. In my school some kids think they're so brave by skipping class, but by the end of the day they will probably will end up with ISS. Jess reminds me of myself (except for he is a boy, and i am a girl)! Like Jess, i also love to draw, and I am a sort of normal kid. I have plenty of real close friends too. In my school we have a teacher just like Ms. Edmunds. This teacher dresses sort of weird, he loves to draw, and he loves t odo stuff with kids. I think if you give this book a chance, then you would enjoy it as much as I did. I see why it is the winner of the Newberry Medal!!

Summary: One of the greats
Review: This story was one of the best stories I have ever read. This story is about a boy named Jesse Arons. He met a new girl at school named Leslie Burke. They became inseparable. It didn't matter that Leslie dressed funny, or had tons of money but no T.V. She had imagination and that was good enough for Jesse. She creates Tersbithia with Jesse and they are the rulers of this magical world. On one day Jesse went on a trip. When he arrives home, there is a deathly silence. He finds out Leslie tried to cross over to the kingdom alone. The water was very deep. She had died in the river. This book is wonderful. You will be touched by this amazing story.

Summary: Water Under the Bridge.
Review: Whae we first started reading this book,I thought it was going to be a little kid's book and not a good story. The story is about a boy named Jesse who gets up every morning and runs. One morning he met a girl named Leslie, he and she became best friends .On a rainy Sunday morning his music teacher came and picked him up and they went to the museum, he forgot to tell Leslie where he was going and that he would not be able to meet her. When he comes home, his parents tell him that she is dead and that she died trying to get over the water to get to Terribethia My favorite part is the praying ceromonies they have and how they dress in flowers. I liked the ending because it ended right if she would't have died then it would not have been such a sad story. I liked this story and I think you should read it.
