"Bridge To Terabithia" is a book full of the joy of finding magic in the mundane. I read, and then re-read and re-read, this book for the very first time when I was a young girl. I first came across it during a summer school English/Reading class and after I'd read the entire story I knew it would be a favourite of mine forever.

This book made me cry. It was the first time I cried in a book I read to myself as a kid. I love the friendship between the two kids, and their vivid imaginations. I love Terabithia. I haven't seen the movie, and I probably won't. Nothing Hollywood does can live up to this imaginary kingdom in my own head. ...more
