A sweet short novel that reminds us of how our childhood friends have greater impacts on us. A classic.

This book was GREAT! The ending was sad, but the actors (there is a movie) were really good. They new how to handle what happened. I would recommend this book to everyone.

The book was sad, but I wasnt interested in it. I enjoyed the movie more.

It was a heartwarming, devastating and exciting tale about how a relationship starts and finishes with a good ending.

Good book... Keept me interested enough, I wish I had such an imagination as Leslie Burk. Mythical nontheless, keept me reading at a certain pace. :)

This book has many adventures and and many big problems and big challenges that Jesse and Leslie have to go through.

I couldn't stop rereading this book. I literally just spent 6 continuous hours with my eyes glued onto the pages. What I love about the book is the classical, 'children seeing the world in a whole different perspective' .

LOVE YHIS BOOK




























PS I think josh Hutchins is hot. BITCHES

I watched the movie when it first came out and wasn't surprised it was based on a book. I read this when I was older and still enjoyed it. I will definitely read this to my nephews and in time my own children. It teaches kids that death is apart of life along with the magic of true friendship, however fleeting. Imagination can keep someone sane, it can help with the pain of loss, it can help you when you are upset and life is being unfair. Children need friendship and their imaginations. Hold onto it as long as possible.

I watched the movie. I knew it was sad. I read it anyway. I cried. I cried some more. It was wonderful.

The Bridge to Terabithia is about two fifth graders who become unlikely friends. Jess is a country boy who is different than his peers because of his love for drawing. Leslie is a city girl whose writer parents moved to Jess’s area because they wanted a simpler life. The two create the imaginary land of Terabithia, where they rule as king and queen. I do not want to give away too much of the novel, but it is a great reading with a unexpected ending.

This novel is excellent for teaching reading because it is a story students will want to read. They can relate it to their own lives easily, and I would be able to slip in vocabulary and literary terms like similes and metaphors. It has a grade level equivalent of 6.1 and is suitable for ages 9-12 (Scholastic.com). I think it is taught often in 5th grade, but I think 6th and 7th graders would enjoy it as well, especially those who struggle with reading.

I loved this book; it made me cry (Ok, I'm a softy)! It is a very easy read and students are able to see issues like boy/girl friendships, death, and being different dealt with in an effective way. There is also a movie, which would be an effective aid in teaching the book. I have not seen it yet but I’d like to eventually.

Loved this book! I cried!
you have to read it
