Bridge to Teribithia

Bridge To Terabithia, written by Katherine Patterson, is one of the most interesting book you will ever read. It tells how two different kids of different genders become best friends. The character I’m most like in the book is Jess Aarons. He sticks up for his friend, Leslie, and doesn’t bully people, but gets bullied. This book is about a kid named Jess who meets this new girl in school who beats him in running at recess. They find out they are neighbors and then one day they talk and run together to a place where no one has gone. They call this place Terabithia. They make armies, trolls, and make up names that include bullies. Jess goes out of town without permission with his teacher. Then Jess heard crying in his house. He had never told his mom that he was leaving. His sister said’‘Jess, your friends dead. And Momma thought you were dead to’‘. He didn’t believe it at first. They find out that Leslie was being cremated and he didn’t like that one bit. He dumped out all the stuff that she gave him in a lake. But, his little sister follows him to Terabithia. He tells her to go away and get lost and she ran straight to their dad. She told him what happened and he talked to Jess. After the talk, Jess made his little sister the Queen of Terabithia.


My favorite character in this book is Leslie. Because she loves adventures and fun.
