Bridge to Terabithia

This story is amazing. It makes me cry everytime.

I consider myself well read, but had never heard of this story. I saw it on a “banned books list” and was intrigued. I enjoyed this quick story. For such a short story, the characters are very well developed and the story is wonderfully executed. Without disclosing any spoilers, the plot moves to a shocking but ultimately compelling conclusion. Very happy I found this story.

Made me cry :(But it is a beautiful book, a classicI’m very happy to have read this book.

This is simply and well written, great for young readers. Definitely memorable. Dealing seriously with emotions and difficulties, not brushing them aside is the start to emotional intelligence. So this bit of book is a nice read for all ages.

I wanted my kids to keep busy during the start of summer vacation! I had read this awesome book in the past and we had watched the movie as a family. I wanted the kids to experience the joy of reading where they could sink in to thisMagical world!

Got this for my daughter and she loves it.

Great book at a great price.

My kids loved it. Of course they loved the movie also. But they said the book was better.

This is a book written for children. I had not heard about it until I was 53 and my sister mentioned that she was re-reading it. She has never steered me wrong so I read it for the first time. I’m richer for the experience. It’s a beautiful combination of joy, sorrow and hope.

Muito bom

A mi hija le encantó el libro

This book broke my heart and left me in tears when I finished up reading it. And I was not expecting it to be this sad and devastating in the end as I went into this children's classic blindly.The story tells about the blooming friendship between two kids, Jesse Aarons, and his new neighbour, Leslie Burke, two lonely kids. Jess being the only male child in his family and expected to take care of errands and his sisters; Leslie being an outcast and bullied at school.The story developed fine and the writing style made it feel like life becomes better with a friend, a sweet younger sibling who looks up to you, an understanding teacher and it's best to avoid negative people be it your family or so called 'friends'.It's the second half that the writing got intense and got me sobbing mad. It dealt with death and grief which I feel were handled well. I cried more so because I got too attached to these characters as well as their pet dog P.T.Leslie's character is delightful and memorable. She's such a nerd! And an amazing personality.Jess's character is amusing. He's that personality which says there's always sunshine after a rainy day.I love the fantasy world they built. It's something to be rejoiced and something for which a price had to be paid unfortunately.I didn't enjoy the stereotypes of body shaming, the way some characters were described and in some instances the unwelcomed violence in a book which is meant for children.But a memorable read indeed!

Ma meilleure amie m'a fait découvrir l'histoire quand on était petite, elle m'a marquée et fait désormais partie de mes préférées.
