Bridge to Terabithia
The 40th anniversary edition of the classic Newbery Medal-winning title by beloved author Katherine Paterson, with brand-new bonus materials including an author's note by Katherine herself and a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Kate DiCamillo.
Jess Aarons has been practicing all summer so he can be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. And he almost is, until the new girl in school, Leslie Burke, outpaces him. The two become fast friends and spend most days in the woods behind Leslie's house, where they invent an enchanted land called Terabithia. One morning, Leslie goes to Terabithia without Jess and a tragedy occurs. It will take the love of his family and the strength that Leslie has given him for Jess to be able to deal with his grief.
Bridge to Terabithia was also named an ALA Notable Children's Book and has become a touchstone of children's literature, as have many of Katherine Paterson's other novels, including The Great Gilly Hopkins and Jacob Have I Loved.
The 1978 Newbery Medal winner by Katherine Paterson. When Jess befriends Leslie, the new girl at school, she opens up a world of imagination for him. Together they create a secret kingdom called Terabithia where Leslie is queen and Jess learns to be king. Only after tragedy strikes does Jess realize what he has learned from Leslie about facing his fears. A complete and unabridged reading of the story, performed by Robert Sean Leonard, is also available. It comes on four CDs and runs about 4 hrs.
