Book Reviews of Bridge to Terabithia
Book Review: An Amazing Book To Be Read By All
Summary: 5 Stars
Bridge to Terabithia is an amazing book. It give you a chance to see that your really don't have to go along with the crowd. It's ok to be different. This book has so many moods that change often throughout the book. The story has two main characters. There is a boy named Jesse and a girl named Leslie. Jesse lives on a farm with his Mom, Dad, and four sisters. Leslie lives with her Mom and Dad. Jesse has trained all summer to be the fastest runner in fifth grade. The day of the big race Leslie asks if she can run. She ends up winning her heat and beats Jesse. Leslie is new to the school and has trouble making friends. Finally Jesse and Leslie begin to talk at home and go for a walk. They find a spot in the forest near their homes. They decide to make it a make-believe place where they can go and hang out. They call it Terabithia. For a Christmas present Jesse gives Leslie a dog. She names it Prince Terrien (P.T for short). Leslie gives Jesse a paint set because he loves to draw but doesn't have the supplies he needs. At their school there is a girl named Janice Avery who is the school bully. My favorite part was when Jesse and Leslie write a fake note to Janice telling her a boy likes her. They tell her to miss the bus so the boy can walk her home. As the bus pulls away from the school they see Janice standing there waiting. A few days later Leslie finds out that Janice's dad beats her, and she can't do anything about it. Leslie feels guilty. Towards the end of the book, Jesse gets to go on a trip to the Art Museum with his teacher. When he returns he finds out that Leslie fell while trying to go to Terabithia, hit her head and died. He runs out of the house and to Leslie's home. He can't believe that his best friend is gone. He is so upset that he throws his art set into the river. At the end of the book Jesse builds a bridge from the bank near his house to the bank were Terabithia is. The very last thing he does is takes his little sister across to Terabithia. He bends down and asks her if she can hear what the people are saying. He then tells her that everyone is saying the next Queen of Terabithia is coming.Book Review: BEST BOOK EVER 5 Stars
I READ THIS BOOK AND LOVED IT! IT WAS SO GOOD! THE BOOK IS ABOUT 2 KIDS NAMED JESS AND LESLIE. THEY MAKE A KINGDOM CALLED TERABITHIA. ALTHOUGH THE BOOK CAN AND MAKE YOU CRY YOU WILL LOVE IT! SO THAT IS THAT GO TO A STORE AND BUY THE BOOK RIGHT Review: BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA: Children's ClassicSummary: 5 Stars I read this book with my little brother. I chose it because it is read extensively throughout Australia and England, and studied in many schools. The book is not read so much in the US where oddly, the story takes place. I think it was a great book and forced you to really think and to get inside the head of another person very different from yourself. A different but similar read would be A DAY NO PIGS WOULD DIE (Robert Newton Peck). I highly recommend reading this book. Good for 7th grade through High School.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060734019/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

Summary: 1 Stars
I read this book years ago, when I was in the intended age group. It's one of the few books from grade school I remember, because the way I felt about it was so strong. I liked it at first. The plot was touching and interesting.
The problem was the end. It was bitter and depressing, and left me with a more negative worldview. To me this book was about a damaged boy finding someone who could truly understand him and bring light to his life, only to have this happiness savagely torn away from him. It sent the message that even when you find something amazing in life, you can't trust it to last.
