Jesse Aarons life was perfect. During the summer between 4th and 5th grade something changed though. Leslie Burk moved into the old Perkins place don the road. Leslie was not like the other girls in town. She wore a tank top and torn jeans everyday. Jesse had practiced all summer so that he could be the fastest kid in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. But, when the races began on the first day guess who beat him? Leslie. Day after day Leslie beat all the boys. So much so that after 1 week no one was racing anymore. But, soon after Leslie wrote something for school that was so invigorating to Jesse that he decided he had to make friends with Leslie. So, Jesse and Leslie went into the woods near their houses and founded a kingdom called Terabithia. They ruled Terabithia together. Then at Christmas they even got a dog prince named Prince Terrien. But, a few months after Christmas Leslie died taking the magic of Terabithia with her.
This book is very interesting. The book is really a realistic fiction book but within the story there is a fantasy of Terabithia. The title comes into play only at the end of the book which encourages the reader to continue reading. I really enjoyed reading it and it was very good story through to the end. This book is inspired by something that happened to the author’s son so you can really feel the emotion throughout the book. I read this book in 5th grade but I think that anyone 3 grade and older can enjoy this book. If you want to check Bridge to Terabithia out click here!
