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.

Revisited it now as an adult and though it’s a moving story with beautiful writing at times, I was thrown off by the amount of fathobia. It’s much in the context of kids being cruel to each other but it was unexpected and went unchallenged. Other than that I really enjoyed it  now and as a child even though it punched me in the gut when I first read it.
