This book is a childhood favorite I decided to reread. As an adult reading it, I teared up even more. This book was very important to me in using my imagination, and to imagine friendships and resiliency after loss.

Es un lectura muy emocional, la trama del libro está contada desde el punto de vista de Jesse que traba amistad con Leslie, ambos se hacen de un lugar mágico llamado terabithia en donde pueden portarse como ellos mismos y compartir aventuras siendo los reyes de ese lugar.

Está lectura me saco varias lágrimas ya que hay una muerte que cambia mucho las cosas y es un duro golpe para Jesse, que al ser tan joven, se le dificulta mucho comprender la realidad de lo que está pasando, aunque también esa perdida lo ayuda más adelante para crecer y compartir ese mundo creado con sus hermanitas menores.

Re-reading this to my son has a completely different meaning to me than reading it when I was his age! What a powerful story of friendship, innocence, and life.

This book is difficult to review objectively because it had such an impact on me when I was younger, and I still have strong emotions reading it. To be fair, are there things I wish were different (more character development, longer ending, less language)? Yes. But for a middle-grade book exploring such deep themes as loss, grief, and guilt for younger readers, I think it's pretty well-done. It still strikes me just how real it is, and I appreciate that. Not an easy read, but one I'm glad I came back to.
