Book Review: bridge to terabithia
Summary: 5 Stars
Cornwall N.Y. sixth grader
I am a sixth grader The Bridge to Terabithia is a very good book filled with action, excitement, adventure, and imagination. I really enjoyed this book a lot, I am normalcy picky about fiction book but this one stood out to me. I like the characters in this book a lot there names are Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke. I think these characters fit this book very well. This book is also very, very surprising I would like to tell u a very good part of the book that surprised me but, I wouldn't want to give away any very good parts of the book. One of the parts I will tell you about is when Jess is training all summer to be the fastest runner in the whole fifth grade but that all changed when he got a new neighbor Leslie Burke. It was the fist day back at school and all the kids were racing Jess thought he would be the fastest but, he was beaten buy Leslie. You are probably wondering why it is called the Bridge to Terabithia. Well it's called that because Leslie doesn't have a T.V. so she uses her imagination so one day she and Jess make an imaginary land were they go on many pretend quest to save there imaginary Kingdom. That is why i like this book alot.
Book Review: Indescribable
Summary: 5 Stars
Whoa. Talk about amazing! I just read this book for school and thought "Oh yeah just another book I might like" but no, it's way more than that. It's about this kid, named Jess. He's basically an outsider at his small town school, Lark Creek. He's just about the fifth grade and all he wants to be is the fastest kid. Just before school starts, he gets a new neighbor, Leslie and when she gets to school, people think she's strange because she has got really short, really imaginative and because she races with the boys on the playground. So the two of them make their own world, the kingdom of Terabithia. After a while, the two become really close. They hang out a lot, do things together and really start to have fun. Jess even becomes nicer to the weird teacher, Miss Edmunds. Then, a tragedy happens. This book tells much about friends, enemies and the way we deal with life. This is the most poignant,perceptive tale I have ever seen written in such a fabulous way. Please, please read this wonderful book about friendship and happiness. You will never really know what this book is like until you do. Also, make sure you keep some tissues around. I cried. A lot. But don't worry, it will all be for the better.Book Review: a greatly written story
Summary: 4 Stars
Have you ever created a magical place? In this book Brige to Terabithia Jess and Leslie create a kingdom where they learn to face fears in the real world. Jess isn't a creative mind, so Leslie helps him. Then one day a terible thing happens and Jess has to have the strength to belive himself. In this story Jess is a lonley kid, but then a girl named Leslie moves in. The two become friends, and Leslie and Jess create a place called Terabithia. Jess doesn't have a wide imagination and that is what Terabithia is all about. Leslie has to teach him and they become king and queen of terabithia.
I think the message the author wants to share is that you can belive with someone's inspiration, but if you think hard enough you can belive yourself.
I think this was a great story myself. I would recommend it to anyone who is creative and has a good imagination. You can then connect more and enjoy it more. It should also be more understandable that way.
With a surprising heart breaking ending, I assure you, you will like it.

Have you ever dreamed about leaving all of your worries and problems behind and escaping to a place where everything is just the way you want it? Have you ever had a friend that taught you wonderful and exciting things? Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson, is a heart-warming story about a remarkable friendship between a young boy, Jesse Aarons, and a young girl, Leslie Burke. Together these two make a hideaway in the woods where they imagine different lives then the ones they possess. They call their secret kingdom Terabithia and even take on the roles of a King and a Queen. There they forget the rest of the world and the problems that are presented with the kids and teachers at school or even their own families. The time spent there seems to strengthen them for the trials of everyday life. The end of the book is a heart-breaker, as Jesse discovers the unexpected. This is a wonderful book for children in the middle and upper grade levels. It portrays a wonderful example of friendship between two people that are quite different.Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
It is rare to stumble upon such an utterly beautiful book. "Bridge to Terabithia" follows Jesse's relationship with Leslie, a unique and intelligent girl, as they form the magical land of Terabithia, a world where they are King and Queen, protecting their land from invaders. Terabithia becomes an escape for both children, a treasured and sacred place where worries beyond the banks of the stream no longer exist.
You feel Jesse's pain as he is faced with a tragedy beyond measure. His tears are your tears. I know they were mine. The pain and anguish is real, his guilt is overwhelming. This is the first book in a while that has made me cry.
Yet, even though the tragedy is so real and melancholic, Jesse's overcoming of his sorrow is the real gem. When you finish the book, you are left with a feeling of fulfillment, a joy. It's a sort of happiness that, even though life can be unfair and bitter, it will always go on and those who are gone never really leave us.
