Bridge to Teribithia
Katherine Patterson
Fiction
Do you like a good book with a catchy story? Well if you do then Bridge to Teribithia
would good be a perfect choice for you! Once you start the book you can't put it down!
Jessie Arons is a lonely fifth grade boy who wants to be the fastest runner in the school
until the new girl Leslie Burke beats all of the boys in a long awaited race. Then Jess's life is changed
when they swing across a rope into a forest landing and they create a secret place,a secret place just for them. As they build their stronghold and have fun while squirming to get out of school they become
more absorbed into their fantasy world. Soon Jess comes back to reality and gets a call from the music
teacher he's been crushing on, Miss Edmunds and she ask him if he wants to go to the Washington
Museum of Art something terrible happens to his best friend...Leslie Burke.
Leslie Burke, the dynamic protagonist of the story, is a happy upbeat person who is very sneaky and sinister. She is very young and blonde and small and she is a tad weird and dresses like a boy. She lives in her little fantasy. Jessie Arons is her best friend. He is a cranky fifth grader who is annoyed everyday by his younger and older sisters. Around Leslie he is very sinister and happy because she is his best friend. He loves art and likes to draw and paint and such. He is very southern from the country and has a southern accent. May Belle is a sassy 6 year old who brags about everything and come crying
to her older brother, Jessie Arons. Just like her brother she has a southern accent. She is a big tattle
tail and a crybaby and threatens to tell if Jess does anything.
I liked this book because it was very detailed and focused on the characters and story. The author did A very good job explaining the characters and plot you could actually feel like you were in their shoes. I also liked the plot/story a lot it was almost like a growing up story such as Steven King's Stand By Me in my opinion. The characters were also very detailed in depth and has much background behind them. Anyway this story was good and exciting once you start reading it you can't put it down!
