Bridge to Terabithia is a story of a young, misunderstood boy in need of a friend. When a new neighbor moves in, they develop a friendship and hideaway (imaginary) place that they named Terabithia. Unexpectedly, his new friend dies, leaving him with regrets. This novel is much better than the movie. I reccomend this to preteens who love fictional stories!

A really good book!

My son (11y) felt the story was good but it was too sad! He would rather have not read it so if your child is sensitive, keep this in mind.
