Childrens
Jess Aaron's greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner
in the fifth grade. He's been practicing all summer and
can't wait to see his classmates' faces when he beats them
all. But on the first day of school, a new kid, a new girl,
boldly crosses over to the boy's side of the playground and
outruns everyone. That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but
Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. It doesn't matter
to Jess that leslie dresses funny, or that her family has a
lot of money -- but no TV. Leslie has imagination.
Together, she and Jess create Terabithia, a magical kingdom
in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen,
and their imaginations set the only limits. Then one
morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess is able
to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally
understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him.
