5.0 out of 5 stars Take Me Away, November 29, 2006
By Kelly A. Brewer (Normal, Illinois) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bridge To Terabithia, January 22, 2007
A Kid's Review
When Jess Aarons meets Leslie Burke his life will be changed forever. He will no longer be able to be the fastest boy in school like he dreamed, but the second fastest runner because of Leslie. Their friendship was rough at first, but they grow closer. He doesn't care how she dresses, how much money she has,or the fact that she doesn't have a tv. 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. Ages recommended: 8 - 11 years old

4.0 out of 5 stars Bridge to terabithia-06, May 22, 2006
A Kid's Review
The day never seems to end for a good ole' farm boy. Especially not for Jess. See Jess has been practicing all summer, day and night, at running. He's gotten so fast he just knows that when he goes back to school he'll beat all the boys in the race during free time. Jess loved running. When you're out in the field what more do you need? Are there any cares in the world? But still, even being the fastest boy Jess somehow felt different from his schoolmates.
But things changed when Leslie came. She was a city girl. She'd seen it all. And she very quickly became very good friends with Jess. Though the friendship is unlikely it is strong. And together Jess and Leslie build an imaginary world called Terabithia where they reign as king and queen. But Jess's world is rocked one more time when tragedy strikes. Will he make it through the turmoil or will the pain just be too much?

This is a beautiful story of friendship and love and tragedy. The author beautifully draws you in to the story, you feel the emotions and cares of the characters and you even grow to know and love them. The development of the characters and of the story line make you feel like you're standing right next to Jess and Leslie. I strongly recommend this book to anyone ages 11 and up.
