If Katherine Patterson makes another Bridge to Terabithia book, I think Jesse will have more friends becaise he is getting older and he learned from Leslie how to be friends with somebody. I liked this book. I liked when Jesse built a bridge and helped his baby sister across when she almost fell in the water.

I am very much enjoying this book, especially the chaper called the Giant Killers, because Jess and Leslie made a plan to make janice Avery feel bad and to get back at her and they succeeded. Even though I liked this book a lot, I liked Number the Stars better. Both books were good books about friendship. I wonder why Jess didn't ask Miss Edmunds if Leslie could go with them to Washington. Any suggestions?

I think that Jess will make it through this hard time because he learned to trust himself. His confidence has increased. He saved Maybelle from falling into the creek and made a final tribute to Leslie. I was surprised that he could talk in Terabithian language. I liked reading this book and I would recommend this book to everyone out there.

I think that Jess built the bridge beacause then he could have a better relationship with his family since he has never been really close to his family. So when he builds the the bridge he isn't just building a bridge to get across to Teribithia, but to build a relationship with his family.

Dear Stephen K.,
I don't think that Jesse built the bridge so Maybelle could get across,because it might not even be a bridge to the other side, maybe it is a bridge to a better relationship for Maybelle and Jesse.

When my class finished Bridge to Terabithia, we watched the movie. It was different than the book in a lot of ways. In the movie Jesse and Leslie enter Terabithia by climbing over a long tree across a river in the woods. The movie is pretty short compared to the book. They forgot about going to church and other things.
