However, a freak accident that kills Leslie shatters the peace of Terabithia, forcing Jess to seek friendship and understanding in the real world. Terabithia evokes the magic of the childhood forts, tree houses, or clubs familiar to most readers. In the woods near their homes, the children create an imaginary land in which their friendship flourishes away from social prejudice and familial pressure. Both Jess and Leslie have special needs, he for athletic recognition to appease a father disgusted by Jess's true interest, art, and she for acceptance from a new school whose students regard her as alien.
Bridge to Terabithia is a sensitive, emotionally honest novel about characters who rise above their weaknesses through emotional strength and generosity.
