Summary: Sad, beautiful, and a very important book!
Review: This book made me cry when I was a kid, but it was a very important book to me. Now that I've reread it, I'm struck by Paterson's bravery in addressing the death of a child and how it affects another child. It's a difficult subject beautifully rendered. Thank you, Katherine. I'd recommend this as a great book for a parent to share and discuss with a child.

Summary: Tragic story, 1978 Newbery Medal-winner, will make you cry.
Review: CHARACTERS: Jesse Oliver Aarons, Jr., a ten-year-old boy, middle child in a family of four sisters, whose parents are desperately poor; and Leslie Burke, new girl from the city whose arrival forever changes Jesse's life and the attitudes of the students at Lark Creek Elementary School.SUMMARY: Young Jesse, who lives in poverty in the countryside in Virgnia, has big plans for the first week of school: he's run hard all summer and is sure he's now the fastest boy in fifth grade. Despite the fact that his dream is shattered by the arrival of a lean, lanky girl named Leslie Burke who moves to his school district from Arlington, Jesse and the newcomer become best friends. She never gloats over the fact that SHE is the fastest kid in the class, and the fact that the two are outcasts at school draws them into friendship. Together the two find, name, and create a magical kingdom in the woods that they reach by swinging across a creek on a rope tied to a tree limb. Jesse and Leslie keep Terabithia their secret, telling neither family nor schoolmates about the hours of make-believe fun they spend there. They name themselves king and queen of Terabithia and play elaborate games almost every day. Leslie's parents are attractive, educated professional writers who left their busy lives in the city for the simplicity and quiet of the country. The Burkes begin fixing up an old house close to Jesse's, and Jesse proves himself quite handy with carpentry and electrical repairs. When the weather is unfit for playing in the woods, Jesse and Leslie help Mr. Burke at home. Jesse has a crush on the beautiful music teacher who was new to the school district the previous year. Fearing ridicule from his family (particulary his father) and classmates, Jesse has shown his artwork only to Miss Edmunds. One rainy day she invites Jesse to accompany her to Washington DC to see the National Gallery. Jesse is awed by the fabulous works of art, and regrets only that he didn't think to ask his teacher if Leslie could come with them. When he returns from Washington, Jesse learns at a tender age how irrevocably one's life can change in the course of one short day. IMPRESSIONS: This was required reading for a children's literature course that I took; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have chosen it on my own, judging solely by the title. However, "Bridge to Terabithia" is an excellent book. It's a quick read, but one that will leave you crying for hours--which is exactly what you want from a book sometimes!

Summary: A book every child should read...
Review: A Bridge to Terabithia is an all time classic. It is awonderful down to earth story about a friendship between tomboy freshin from the big city and a local country boy. As they become fast friends they develop a world of fantasy for themselves. This is a book I first read when I was ten years old and I still go back and laugh and cry over the same tear stained pages twelve yaers later. I highly recommend this book, for the young and not so young.

Summary: A Great Friendship
Review: Have you ever wanted a good friend? If you answered "yes", then you should read Bridge to Terabithia. This interesting and exciting book about friendship will teach you about love, determination, and loss. Jess Aarons wants to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade, but when his new neighbor, Leslie Burke, comes to school the challenge is even harder for him. Even though Jess didn't become the fastest runner, he found a new friend in Leslie. Jess and Leslie also found a magical place in the woods that they called Terabithia. It was a private place just for them. Jess likes to draw, he's a good friend, and he's nice. Jess has two older sisters. They're lazy, selfish, whiney, and bossy. Jess also has a younger sister named Maybelle. She follows him everywhere like a cute little puppy, but he draws the line when it comes to Terabithia. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who likes great books about friendship.

Summary: How i dis-liked the book
Review: This book "Bridge to Terrabithia" was an o-k book. being a 13 year old in New York, i thought the book was a little boring. The best part was the ending, and i hate books where you have to wait all the way to the end to get an exciting part. But it had a great story about a true solid and excellent friendship between 2 main characters. I think that this book is a good book but like i said if i could change it i would definetly change the sequence of events. I think the author did an excellent job in describing this book, but didn't emphasize in the thoughts of the reader. Yet this book was a little boring, it was inspirational, and a great childrens book. I would DEFINETLY recomend it to other people *OF ALL AGES* so please go to your library and take out this book!
