Jesse has been practicing all summer to be the fastest runner in the fifth-grade at his school. But he is beat to that title by a strange new girl, Leslie. However, eventually they become best of friends and build a fantasy kingdom named Terabithia. But one day, something really awful happens...

Have you read this book? What do you think of it? I think it's terrific! It's so well-written.

About the summary ^^. If it sucks, please ignore it, and give Bridge to Terabithia a try, if you haven't read it.

I had to read this book for school in 4th or 5th grade. At the time, I didn't like it. Just the tone of it really put me off. But now that I'm older and more appreciative, I figured out that I really do like it. The story is tragic.

I should reread it, and I probably will sooner or later because of the movie they made. I want to see if they do it justice.

One thing I do remember is when they painted the gold room. For some reason that image has really stuck with me.

This book makes me think of Tuck Everlasting. It has the same kind of tone (I think), it made me cry, and it is tragic while being victorious.

For some reason, everyone I know who's read this book, has read it in the 4th or 5th grade. I read it last year, and read it again some weeks ago. It's so sad... :cry:

I read it in the 2nd grade. I can only remember the land of Terabithia, nothing else. Oh, I loved the story, but I haven't read it in years... I have to find it again.

I sort of liked it, but they did a pretty awful job with the movie. I liked how they did the characters though.

i LOVED the movie. of course, i've never read the book, so maybe that's why.

I read this years and years ago so cant really remember much about it, except for the ending and the fact that it is one of the saddest books I've ever read. I loved it though lol.

I had to read it in grade six. It really is a beautiful beautiful book. The characters were real kids. I kind of forgot parts of it and mixed it up with the other book we read (Rain May and Captain Daniel...I think) but The ending stuck with me (when he leads his little sister into the wood) and I always found it heartwarming.

I've read that book. I love it! I always promise myself when I come up towards the ending I won't cry, and yet I always do, dangit!

I haven't read it, nor have I seen the movie. i promised myself a while ago that I will do either, or both, of the two.

I haven't read the book merely because the film didn't look all that good if I'm honest. I mean I know they say that the books are always better than the films - and I agree with this, imaginary is a great director - but the film just looks plain awful, so I hate to think about the book.

This story made me cry...I confess I only read it because I saw a trailor for the movie and thought it looked interesting, so I wanted to read the book in order to be able to pick apart the movie with scorn and loud scoffs. Never did get around to watching the movie, but I left tear marks on the book.

I loved that book! I read it last year, and I cried. The story has really stuck with me.
