Jess (the boy main character) is a bit of a loner. He lives in a small country town in America with his four sisters and parents and they do it very tough. Before he begins 5th grade, he trains to become the fastest runner in the school – that is until Leslie (girl main character) shows up. Although Jess thinks she’s too out of place coming from a big city to begin with; they quickly become best friends and create an imaginary country to rule in the woods: Terabithia.
I read ‘Bridge to Terabithia’ for the first time in year 7 in school and even then I loved it. I really only had fond memories of it on the whole, so when I saw it in UniBooks I didn’t hesitate in buying it with the intention of re-reading it on the ASAP.
I rated it maybe a 3 ½ - 4 out of 5 the first time around. But this time, after I’ve finally finished sobbing, I’m bumping it up to 5. The story is so beautifully written which I obviously couldn’t appreciate at 13 years old, but now that I’m older the plot and in particular the ending just hit me so hard. Oh god. I’ve been sobbing pretty hard for some time now.
It’s by far one of my favourite books, and one that strongly influenced me towards reading more when I was younger. This book… just… this book…
