Take Me Away,
By
This review is from: Bridge to Terabithia (Paperback)
Chores, running, and hiding his talent to draw were Jess's most famous traits when he was alone, but when the neighbors moved in next door and he became friends with Leslie, this all changed. Jess was still good at these things but he became more creative, more imaginative, and more accepting of his love to draw. Leslie and Jess brought out the best in each other. These two were destined to become best friends, and they fought tough times as well as enjoyed good times together. Caught in a world without perfection, Leslie and Jess created a place where they could be without any imperfections. This secret place, once created, was longed for. Jess and Leslie needed this place just as they needed each other. Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Patterson, deals with a number of real life ordeals, including friendship, loss, bullying, and more. I think this is a great book for anyone who deals with life and longs for their own secret place to get away from it all.

Bridge to Terabithia - a kid's review,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Bridge to Terabithia (Paperback)
I like Bridge to Terabithia because it's interesting and it makes me want to read more. I think it's good for others kids my age to read.
This book is about a boy named Jesse and a girl named Leslie who created this place called Terabithia. Any enemies around them in their real life would become enemies in Terabithia. Jesse and Leslie had difficulties in their lives but they straightened them out. At the end of the story Jesse built a bridge to Terabithia in honor of Leslie. They were good friends. I had a lot of feelings about this book. I was sad because in the end something shocking happened to Leslie. I was surprised because Jesse goes somewhere without permission. After reading Bridge to Terabithia, these are my opinions: #1 This book is exciting for others to read. #2 I think Katherine Paterson should continue the story so I can know what happens next. #3 It's a good book.

They decide to make a magical kingdom called Terabithia,which they are king and queen of,and only their imagination is the limit. Leslie gets a dog from Jess,which she makes the royal guardian and jester. Then one morning a tragic freak accident occurs. Only then he will find the very valuable gift that Leslie has given him.
