Publisher Description
This beloved Newbery Medal-winning novel by bestselling author Katherine Paterson is a modern classic of friendship and loss.
Jess Aarons has been practicing all summer so he can be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. And he almost is, until the new girl in school, Leslie Burke, outpaces him. The two become fast friends and spend most days in the woods behind Leslie's house, where they invent an enchanted land called Terabithia. One morning, Leslie goes to Terabithia without Jess and a tragedy occurs. It will take the love of his family and the strength that Leslie has given him for Jess to be able to deal with his grief.
Bridge to Terabithia was also named an ALA Notable Children’s Book and has become a touchstone of children’s literature, as have many of Katherine Paterson’s other novels, including The Great Gilly Hopkins and Jacob Have I Loved.
Customer Reviews
Amazing!
I love this book! I read it in class and was skeptical, but after the turning point, I loved it! I laughed and cried through this book! It’s truly a masterpiece.
Heartbreaking
“Death is not an appropriate subject for children”. And you’d be correct, it’s not, but it still happens, and happens to them. Similarly Powerful words from the author herself. And to learn that this story was written about the experience of her own sons loss of a friend. It just makes the story that much more heartbreaking. 10/10 an amazing book.
