In an attempt to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade, Jess Aarons has been training throughout the summer. And up until Leslie Burke, the new student, outpaces him, he nearly is. The two hit it off right away and spend most of their days in the woods behind Leslie's home, creating an imaginary world they name Terabithia. Tragic events happen as Leslie leaves for Terabithia early one morning without Jess. Jess's ability to cope with his loss will depend on his family's affection and the strength Leslie has given him.
In addition to being recognised an ALA Notable Children's Book, Bridge to Terabithia has become a classic in children's literature, along with many of Katherine Paterson's other works, such as Jacob Have I Loved and The Great Gilly Hopkins.
