This was a good read. I read this when I was a lot younger and I have seen the movie. I knew how the story was going to end, however I still cry. The death of Leslie was hard to read. There was a few parts in the book that I wasn’t a big fan of. There were some parts that were funny and other spots that made me cry. There are some good lessons in Bridge to Terabithia. The biggest thing being about grief and loss. Everyone, grieves at a different pace and in a different way.

Literally knew nothing about this and have never seen the movie. This was actually very sweet and kind of depressing. I think this is a good story for children because there’s so many lessons and events that happen in children’s lives. I could live without the fat phobia though. I’m glad I read this!

I'm clearly not the right audience for this book, and I still think young boys and girls would greatly take lessons from it. However, I wasn't a fan on how the story so quickly wrapped up and I felt a lot of development was missing. I've seen more detail and construction in even shorter novels. On and all I won't think too deep, it's a story about growing up and it's well done. Also wasn't a big fan on how fatphobic all the characters are; I know the book is a couple of decades old but it made me uncomfortable to read how all of the bad characters are described as flabby, giants, fat, etc.

I was prepared and not prepared for the ending of this book and the author did a good job of pulling feelings from me. But the constant fat shaming didn't age well and bothered me.
