Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Alissa

Bridge to Terabithia is about a boy named Jesse who meets "the new girl", Leslie, and they create a magical place just their own. Most of the story is written about their real life, not their life in Terabithia. Jesse and Leslie go through lots of bullying at schools. Jesse chooses to take the bullying and try to ignore it, but Leslie rebels and tries to stop it. Leslie's additude towards life helps Jesse become a better person.

People have been saying that this book is terrible and that they hate it. I'd bet those are also the people that sob uncontrollably when a person dies and goes into denial.
Just because one of the favorites of the characters dies does not mean that this is a terrible book!
Infact, I think that Bridge to Terabithia is a great book. Amazing writing and amazing plot. The death is just something that happens all the time. People need to understand that if they would like to read this book happily. (I actually did cry a little bit at the death, but I handled it.)
You need to be able to handle death to read Bridge to Terabithia, but if you do read the book, you will absolutely love it!
