Jesse Oliver Aarons, Jr. wants to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. When Leslie Burke, a new girl, comes, she beats Jesse and all the other boys in a race. Leslie tells her class that she has no TV so they all tease her. Jess and Leslie become friends and make Terabithia, an imaginary kingdom in the woods. Together they fight back against a bully, but soon find out that she is in trouble and needs their help. At the end of the book, something very sad happens and Jess is very angry about it. He acts badly to one of his sisters, but later makes it up to her.
I really liked this book because it teaches a lot about friendship. I would recommend it to my best friends.
