Product Description
Jess Aarons’ greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in his grade. He’s been practicing all summer and can’t wait to see his classmates’ faces when he beats them all. But on the first day of school, a new girl boldly crosses over to the boys’ side and outruns everyone.
That’s not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. Together they make Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits. Then one morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess is able to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally know the might and courage Leslie has agreed him.

The tale starts out simply enough: Jess Aarons wants to be the fastest boy in the fifth grade–he wants it so terrible he can taste it. He’s been practicing all summer, running in the fields around his farmhouse until he collapses in a sweat. Then a tomboy named Leslie Burke moves into the farmhouse next door and changes his life forever. Not only does Leslie not look or act like any girls Jess knows, but she also turns out to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. After getting over the shock and humiliation of being beaten by a girl, Jess starts to reflect Leslie might be okay.
Despite their superficial differences, it’s clear that Jess and Leslie are soul mates. The two make a secret kingdom in the woods named Terabithia, where the only way to get into the castle is by swinging out over a gully on an enchanted rope. Here they reign as king and queen, fighting off imaginary giants and the walking dead, sharing tales and dreams, and plotting against the schoolmates who tease them. Jess and Leslie find support in the sanctuary of Terabithia until a tragedy strikes and the two are separated forever. In a style that is both unadorned and powerful, Katherine Paterson’s characters will stir your heart and place a lump in your throat.

I’m an eighth grader and in fifth grade my teacher read this to us. It was SO dull. I despise tales about idiot kids who make up fake places and reflect they’re real. Or fake people or things, etc. It was a HORRIBLE book. I had no interest in it and every day when it was time to read I got SO upset because I did NOT want to read it! It was a HUGE waste of time. The only reason my class liked it is because there are some swear words in it and we thought it was amusing to hear our teacher swear. Honestly, I don’t know why we had to read it and why the teachers keep building us read it. Even if there is a excellent message. If the kids aren’t interested in a book they won’t retain it and won’t know the message. We kept reading it just so we’d know it would be over eventually. Among the additional books I had to read in school that I despised: Maniac Magee, Right Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Tuck Everlasting, and MAROO OF THE WINTER CAVES! They were all disgustingly terrible.

My daughter got this for her birthday. I despised this book!! The tale is fine. Maybe kids might get something deep from this but I doubt it. From the first page, the characters are all dark and hideous to each additional. There is no respect shown for any power figure in the book from parents to teachers. There is no like or respect between any siblings. There are plenty of cuss words throughout the book. There are illusions to a child/teacher inappropriate relationship. There is a whole discussion about God d—- people to h—. The words in this book can’t be typed in this review, so why would you allow your child to read them?? The death of the child holds no meaning, because I didn’t feel anything for any of the characters and there’s no fantastic lesson in the death either. There are lots of references to killing people “by the childen”! Such things like “I’d like to kill him/her” said repeatedly, like it’s ok to say that. The parents are described as insignificant and stupid. There are illusions that the boy may turn out gay because he draws. There are lots of mean remarks about stout people. I have no thought how this book got an award and why it has 800 star reviews. I only know I am sick that my daughter got this book as a gift and read it before I checked it out. There is nothing edifying in this book whatsoever and I’m probably on hurt control for the next 6 months with my child.

This book is terrible! All my friends and I despise it. Sometimes for a whole chapter it talks about Jess thinking about things that nobody cares about. This would never take place in real life. All they do is say wow im in happyland. No marvel they dont have any additional friends. LESLIE DIED! LETS HAVE A PARTY!
