Bridge to Terabithia
by Steve Liebman, Katherine Paterson, Stephanie S. Tolan
Summer 2019 (audiobook);
This was a cute book that I picked up on (one of the many) Audible sales last spring. I'd heard of the book and seen the previews in my life for the movie, but never ended up reading or watching it before it passed on some $2-3 audio sale. I couldn't pass on it and so I picked it up, and in my classroom, one of my students noticed I had it on my 'reading for the month' list and told me how crushed they'd been about the death of the little girl.
I had stood there and blinked and their eyes went wide and they started apologizing, so I patted their hand and said it was fine. That good books should still be good even if you know what's coming. Still, it put me a little off of it and I set the book down for 3-4 months, too, and finally came back to it this past week while trying to blitz through audible books still on my device in started-but-not-finished states.
This book was cute, if written for young children, with generic simple settings and situations. I was surprised about how quickly the death happened on the heels of something so good, but I was unsurprised to see that I had rightly guessed how the death would happen. I very much did get goosebumps at the ending lines between our main character and his little sister, which made me feel really proud and pleased about the continual passing of the magic to the younger generations.
