Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson


Bridge to Terabithia was mainly about two kids who form their own imaginary society, called Terabithia, in the woods. The two kids Jess and Leslie are the two rulers. Lets take a step back to the beginning when Leslie first came to school. It was the first day of fifth grade, everyone excited, ready to go out to recess to race. It was time to see who was the fastest kid in the fifth grade, until Leslie came to school. Jessie saw her as a threat because she could be faster than him but at the same time he had a secret crush on her. When they first raced I knew that they would be best friends. Boy, was that true. They started to do everything together. That was when they created Terabithia, with a rope swing to get across. Terabithia was based on the people in their lives. They were kings, nothing could bring them down. Then something tragic happened that almost made me cry, I was brave. When you figure out what happens you will definitely burst out in tears. If you want to know what happens then you have to read the book. This was by far the best book I have ever read. It is an action packed thriller with suspense on every page. Hopefully you decide to read this book. I know you will love it.

hello there !

i have stayed in the state but that was far back in the 1990s. i had to return back to Malaysia when i was in 4th grade. bummer. I started reading books when i was 6 and the 1st chapter book i have read was "the one in the middle is the green kangaroo"..."james and the giant peach"...then it was "the whipping boy" but i never understood the story. haha..but that didn't stopped me from reading. and now that i'm 24, after watching the bridge to terabithia, i figured how much i missed such literature. it's not easy for me to keep track of the list of best sellers novels here in my country. most titles are less interesting. if you wouldn't mind, could you share me your list of best titles for children literature ? and who knows, after i've read them, i might as well share the books with my future children. thank you soo much. your blog is great. cheers from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia :)
