Jess Aarons' greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in his grade. He's been practicing all summer and can't wait to see his classmates' faces when he beats them all. But on the first day of school, a new girl boldly crosses over to the boys' side and outruns everyone.

That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. Together, they create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits. Then one morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess is able to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him.

my teacher read it to my class and it was good.

this book is about a boys dream of becoming the fastest runner in 5th grade. a great story form Katherine Paterson

Bridge to Terabithia was a really sad book. I loved it because relationships are important in life. Jess(e) was determined to be the fastest kid in the fifth grade. When Leslie entered Jess’s life the friendship looked hopeless, but it became strong. Leslie and Jess made a place for them to be alone and thats why its really good. I started to cry when I was reading it. I highly recommend it because its a very good book and it made me cry.
