I don't remember the last time I read a book that has made me cry, even after finishing the last few pages.

At first, Jesse Aarons was not a well-liked character. I thought he was dull and small-minded until I kept on reading. Then did  I understood why he was the way he was. I actually grew to like him in the end. 
As for Leslie, I loved her imagination and the way she helped Jesse to slowly be himself without feeling shunned and an outcast.
I admired their friendship, even if it was short lived.

Heart breaking, wrecked me, love it still. I read it for the first time in like middle school and I just remembered it recently and had to read it again. Still gets me big time. Such a good book. I do with there was another book that was actually set in Terabithia, I think that would be really cool.
