Bridge to Terabithia

Patterson, K. (1997). Bridge to Terabithia. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

Jesse Aarons meets Lelie Burke after she becomes the fastest runner in in the fifth grade. The two became friends, and soon found a secret place in the woods where they could allow their imaginations to run wild.  Jes and Leslie really enjoyed the time they spent together in the land they named Terabithia. Their secret world, however, comes to an end when Jesse gets the horrible news that his friend Leslie had an accident when visiting Terabithia by herself. Patterson adds an unexpected twist to this story of fantasy and imagination. In the end, Jesse decides to share the magical kingdom with his younger sisters, whom he had taken for granted before.
