Bridge to Terabithia is by Katherine Paterson. Ten-year-old Jess Aarons has never had a true friend. He comes from a poor family where his father must work hard and long to keep the family going. He hopes to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade at Lark Creek Elementary. But then Leslie Burke appears and his dreams are dashed. Leslie, with her wonderful imagination, becomes the friend Josh never had. They create their own secret place called Terabithia, where giants and ogres run free. But then, one day, a terrible tragedy occurs. One that makes Jess re-evaluate everything he has experienced in his life.
Ratings: 5th grade - 10 out of 10.
