Newbery-Bridge+to+Terabithia

Paterson, K. (1977). // Bridge to terabithia //. New York, NY: HarperCollins

Jess Aarons' dream is to become the fastest runner in the fifth grade. He ran all summer long to train and practice becoming the fastest runner. When the first day of school finally comes he is confident in his ability to win the races. That is until a new school comes to school. Leslie Burke ran the race with all the boys and beat every one of them. Jess Aarons was not happy about that! However, much to his surprise a great friendship came from that. Jess and Leslie were the best of friends; they had a "secret" place called Terabithia. The two of them went there almost everyday, if they could. One day it was raining really hard outside and Jess did not go to Terabithia, but Leslie did. That day a tragedy happened, Leslie slipped on a rock and hit her head; it killed her. Through all of this Jess Aarons found someone who believed in him. Leslie gave him so much strength and courage that he did not realize he had and probably would not have if it was not for Leslie Burke.
