A Kid's Review

This review is from: Newbery Award Library II: And Now, Miguel / Bridge to Terabithia / Sarah Plain and Tall / Wheel On (Paperback)

The book Bridge to Terabithia is a brilliant novel made by Katherine Patterson.Its a close heart touching story about a cowardly boy named Jess Oliver Aarons JR. and a risk taking bold girl named Leslie Burke. These two are unusually the best of friends. When they create the new world they can be anyone and do anything. Which teaches Jess to have the strength and courage to face his fears and brave it out at school and in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorites!, January 2, 2003

This review is from: Newbery Award Library II: And Now, Miguel / Bridge to Terabithia / Sarah Plain and Tall / Wheel On (Paperback)

First of I would like to say that this book inspired me and left me thinking about it after I had finished it which in my opinion only happens when you read a VERY good book. My teacher 3rd grade teacher was the first one to read this book to me. It was wonderful! A year or so later I read it again (I have now read it four times) it is honestly one of the most touching, best written books I have EVER read and I would highly recomend it! It displays friendship, and courage and sorrow. Normally I do not read books twice because they dont interest me anymore but I could come back to this book several more times and still love it! Please read this book!

Think on your own and let others be able to experience the privilege as you have. Bridge to Terebithia is one out of the hundred books on the ALA list of most frequently banned. This book is one of the most talked about out of the list of 100. Some people's reason for wanting this book banned is the way young characters experience the reality and tragedy of death. They think that kids should not be exposed to things that they have not experienced. One other objection may be some questionable language. In my opinion, I think this book is a wonderful piece of literature that should be read everywhere. So, as my final words I would like to say that before you take away someone's freedom of expression, you should consider all points of view.
