Jess Aarons lives in a small town called Lark Creek and
has a hard family life. Jess and Leslie spend a lot of time together. They take
over a part of a nearby forest that's only accessible by swinging on a rope
over the creek, and name it Terabithia. In this imaginary land, they're
royalty. They can escape from the bullies and the boredom of fifth grade, and
dream all they like. When the resident bully, Janice Avery, steals May Belle's
Twinkies, Jess and Leslie get revenge on her by writing her a fake love letter
and embarrassing her.
The cover is really nice because it shows about adventure
and magic. I really like the colour of the cover. This book focuses on the sweet friendship of a tween boy and girl
who share imaginative play, creating a world of their own just a rope swing
away, far from the school bullies they face. It also features a child's death
and grief in the aftermath of the tragedy, and may provoke tears. There's
mention of cremation, which may be upsetting to some kids.
Reading this book reminds me a book called Harry Potter.
This novel tell us about many Adventures and Magic. in which the world is divided
into two parts, namely the world Muggle
(ordinary human world) and the world of wizard. Anyway,
this is an interesting novel to read. This simple tale of
belonging and family will inspire readers of all ages.
