What
happens when your hard-earned title as “the fastest kid in fifth grade” is
taken by a girl – and not just any girl – the new girl? Does this moment
change your life forever?
Jesse
Aarons Jr., a runner and artist, is not your typical fifth grade student. He is angry, depressed, and sometimes even
fearful. He hates all but one of his
sisters. He hates his home life. Jesse hates his school and has no friends but
that changes when he meets Leslie Burke, his new neighbor. Initially, Jesse hates Leslie because she stole
all that he has – his title as the fastest runner –but once he gets to know her
in music class, the two become inseparable.
Katherine
Patterson tells the emotional story of Jesse and Leslie, two fifth grade best
friends who share a developing excitement for life and each other. Jesse and Leslie create their own world,
Terabithia, where they escape when their realities become too much to handle. The two of them are the only ones who have
ever crossed the creek into Terabithia.
What
will happen to Jesse and Leslie as their worlds come together? What will happen when Jesse leaves Terabithia
but Leslie stays? Read Patterson’s 1978
Newberry Medal winner, Bridge to
Terabithia, to learn what this secret kingdom has to offer.
