This book has been on my list to read for what feels like forever. 

I've been the movie, I know what heartbreak lies within the pages. What I didn't realize is how short this novel actually is. I read it in one sitting. I actually read two books today because this book was so short. 

While the writing of the children who were annoying and maybe English wasn't their greatest strengths was annoying, this book still struck a cord. 

Leslie is what makes this book. Terabithia is magical and because of Leslie you believe anything is possible. The grief that Jess feels is real. I was crying like a baby during the last bit of the book. 

Definitely worth a read for readers of all ages.
