ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson tells the story of Jess, a young boy who feels like an outsider, and his transformative friendship with Leslie, a new girl in his rural community. Together, they create a magical world called Terabithia where they are king and queen, escaping the challenges of their family and school life. This friendship empowers Jess, allowing him to explore his creativity and emotions, while also experiencing grief, confronting his fears and insecurities, and learning to accept difficult concepts, like death. The book delves into themes of imagination, the power of friendship, and the realities of childhood, showing how these two children use their bond to deal with their circumstances.
