PATERSON, KATHERINE
BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA

Jess Aaron's greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in the 5th grade. He has been practicing all summer. But on the first day of school, a new girl out runs everyone. That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. Leslie has IMAGINATION. Together, she and Jess create 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 understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him.
