Amazing
It is rare to stumble upon such an utterly beautiful book. "Bridge to Terabithia" follows Jesses relationship with Leslie, a unique and intelligent girl, as they form the magical land of Terabithia, a world where they are King and Queen, protecting their land from invaders. Terabithia becomes an escape for both children, a treasured and sacred place where worries beyond the banks of the stream no longer exist.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;You feel Jesses pain as he is faced with a tragedy beyond measure. His tears are your tears. I know they were mine. The pain and anguish is real, his guilt is overwhelming. This is the first book in a while that has made me cry.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Yet, even though the tragedy is so real and melancholic, Jesses overcoming of his sorrow is the real gem. When you finish the book, you are left with a feeling of fulfillment, a joy. Its a sort of happiness that, even though life can be unfair and bitter, it will always go on and those who are gone never really leave us.

 Bridge to Terabithia
Have you ever dreamed about leaving all of your worries and problems behind and escaping to a place where everything is just the way you want it? Have you ever had a friend that taught you wonderful and exciting things? Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson, is a heart-warming story about a remarkable friendship between a young boy, Jesse Aarons, and a young girl, Leslie Burke. Together these two make a hideaway in the woods where they imagine different lives then the ones they possess. They call their secret kingdom Terabithia and even take on the roles of a King and a Queen. There they forget the rest of the world and the problems that are presented with the kids and teachers at school or even their own families. The time spent there seems to strengthen them for the trials of everyday life. The end of the book is a heart-breaker, as Jesse discovers the unexpected. This is a wonderful book for children in the middle and upper grade levels. It portrays a wonderful example of friendship between two people that are quite different.
