Abstract:

Book Description: All summer, Jess pushed himself to be the fastest boy in the fifth grade, and when the year's first school-yard race was run, he was going to win. But his victory was stolen by a newcomer, by a girl, one who didn't even know enough to stay on the girls' side of the playground. Then, unexpectedly, Jess finds himself sticking up for Leslie, for the girl who breaks rules and wins races. The friendship between the two grows as Jess guides the city girl through the pitfalls of life in their small, rural town, and Leslie draws him into the world of imaginations world of magic and ceremony called Terabithia. Here, Leslie and Jess rule supreme among the oaks and evergreens, safe from the bullies and ridicule of the mundane world. Safe until an unforeseen tragedy forces Jess to reign in Terabithia alone, and both worlds are forever changed. In this poignant, beautifully rendered novel, Katherine Paterson weaves a powerful story of friendship and courage.

Paterson, K. (1977). Bridge to Terabithia. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Co.

Winner: Newbery Medal in 1978

Set in rural Virginia - near Washington, DC anyway - the themes of Bridge to Terabithia are belonging and death.

Jess doesn't belong in his family, or in school. When a new girl moves to his rural neighborhood, she accepts Jess as her friend, and he is surprised to accept her as his friend as well. Leslie is open to the new environment she has entered, and with her, Jess finds himself becoming more open as well. He finally has a friend and a feeling of belonging to something. By the end of the book, despite tragedy, Jess is able to continue with the new attitude of confidence and belonging that grew within him as he knew Leslie, and to offer what he has learned to those about him.
