Derek's Book Review of Bridge to Terrabithia by Katherine Patterson
Hi. My name is Derek and I will be sharing a book called Bridge to Terrabithia, a John Newbery winner, by Katherine Patterson. For a moment, imagine having a mom who makes you do all the chores: pick the beans, milk the cow and even look after your little sisters. Imagine being in a school with no friends and having to come home everyday to a house where the older girls tease you all day. This is what life is like for Jesse Oliver Aarons Junior. That is until a new kid moves in next door. Believe it or not Jesse becomes best friends with a girl named Leslie Burke. Together they create their own world called Terrabithia. They spend every single day in the castle stronghold, their secret fort. One day Jess gets the surprise of his life when his teacher calls and invites him to go to a museum. The perfect day you say?
WRONG! Would you like to find out what happens when Jess goes with Ms. Edmonds to Washington? Would you like to know how Jess’s perfect day ends up being the worst of his life? Well, you will have to read Bridge to Terrabithia to find out.
