This was required reading for a children's lit course I took in 1990. I enjoyed it very much, although I found it a little odd that Leslie calls her parents by their first names, and couldn't figure out why the author felt the need to include that detail. I read it again years later when I lead a series of book discussions sponsored by ALA, and enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

This is not a book to enjoy - but it's one you'll be glad you read.
Although it's a grade school staple (all three of my kids have had it read aloud to them in school), and it's one of my daughter's favorites, I'd never read it. A Taste of Blackberries was sad enough for me! Then, for reasons unknown, one day I decided to pick this up.
Although Bridge to Terabithia is written for children, the writing and characterization are excellent, and its lessons will appeal to adults as well. ...more

Definitely a four-hanky story: beautiful for its exploration of family, friendship, and death. Paterson is one of those writers who wields language like a sword.
