Jesse and Leslie form a quick and close bond despite their very different family lives. Both show bold and admirable imaginations, Jesse with a little bit of help. Together they create a world that's just a rope swing across a creek away. In their world they are the rulers; using experiences from school like run-ins with bullies the world, Terabithia as they name it, steadily transforms into a wonderful kingdom. Then a twist puts Jesse by himself and he must learn to live without Leslie, but still feel her presence.

some d-mns and h-lls.the best book ever by far.

Helps kids see it is OK to not "fit" into one mold as Jess tries to be more than typical footbal boy. He has a friend that happens to be a girl and he loves to draw.

I love this book i read this last year as my report but there were few bad language's but i think a 4th grade can read it but careful not to use it. I got after school detention at middle for saying a bad word.. so it fun also :)

I felt connection to Jesse when Leslie died. It was an amzing story.

I found this book very motivational when I was younger because I was when I was 10 glued to my PlayStation 24/7 and that was all I did. For school we had to read a book, and I chose this one because the movie was coming out soon. This book really made me want to get off the couch and go use my imagination.

i loved the movie, book, and audio. they were all great!

This is a great book! My class read it, but the book does have its fair share of swear words so watch out for that, but if your kids can ignore it then they will love it. It's a very interesting book and The two main characters try to work it out with a bullie so I think that is a great messege.

My 8 year old son and I just finished this book. Although I loved the book, I wish that I had waited another year or so to read it to my son. For one thing, it is not good for Santa believers due to some scenes that take place at Christmas. Also, it is very sad at the end-- we both cried. My son had trouble accepting the ending, he kept thinking that somehow a "happy ending" that would change the outcome would still happen right until the last page. He was was angry that didn't happen. That said, we both really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book. We loved the main characters' friendship and their lovely kingdom of Terabithia. I am glad we read it.
