A heartfelt story that had me crying. (Which is hard to do.)
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. Comments? Questions? Concerns? Email me: ogormanscommonsense at yahoo. :)

It's Pretty Good, But In My Opinion Highly Overrated
I read this book when I was nine. I thought it was just okay. This book is highly overrated. Not to say that it's terrible, but I don't think it's as good as everybody says it is. There are positive messages and good role models; I particularly like the main character.

Be yourself
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.

For older than 4th graders
I love it! Great book! Not recommended for younger than 4th graders. Uses a little bad language, not too bad though.

Get up and use your imagination
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.

Great book just watch out for swear words
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.

It's good but sad.
I loved this book. I read it when I was ten, and it just captured me. Of course, I was absolutely devastated at the death scene, and I actually began to cry so hard my brother came in to see if I was all right. A sad, but very good book.

GREAT BOOK........ BUT HAS A HUGE RED FLAG!
The book is definetly a winner! I really enjoyed it! But it will break the hearts of those who read it. Because a main character who is a child dyes a tragic death. Which can be to tragic to kids 8 and under.

Insightful and beautifully-written book, must-read for tweens and up
I may be 16, but I still love this book! It is one of the best lessons of friendship, acceptance and coping with loss ever written for kids around the ages of 9-13, even for adults. I recommend reading the book before watching the movie. None of the "fantastical creatures" of the movie are actually described in the book, but the magic of Terabithia is stronger in the book. The only downside to the book is that it has some mild swear words, so it would probably be uncomfortable for parents and kids to read aloud.
