Bridge to Terabithia?
I have to read Bridge to Terabithia for school and I'm having a hard time understanding it. I'm already on page 70 and I have to read it by September 20th, and I'm not going to read it all over again. I've tried to read it over again 3 times and I still don't understand it. I am going to be getting quized on this book for school and I'm gonna fail if I don't know what the book was about. What is the book about? What's the summary? Just give me like a little understanding about it so I know what I'm reading. Thanks!

Bridge to Terabithia Book Controversy?
"Whack jobs" (an apt description, I'd say) don't need much, if any, reason (since they don't use it - their reason, that is.) It's a story about a young boy falling in love with a young girl - and that's all they need. They probably think Romeo and Juliet should be banned, too.

Jesse is in conflict with the expectations placed upon him by his family. He has a strained relationship with his family, one that is nonexistent until almost the end of the novel. Jesse is not comfortable in his own shoes, as he always hides his love of art. Jesse also faces an internal conflict about the fear that he seems to have about everything. Leslie is in conflict with those at Lark Creek Elementary. Because she is from the city and does not care much what people think of her, her classmates find her different. Leslie is introduced, and she and Jesse become friends after first racing in the schoolyard. Leslie and Jesse create Terabithia, an imaginary land where they escape their everyday lives, defeat their enemies, and cope with their fears. Jesse and Leslie exchange gifts at Christmas: Jesse giving Leslie a dog, and Leslie giving Jesse expensive art supplies. Jesse and Leslie face a bully who steals from May Belle. Miss Edmunds takes Jesse to Washington to an art museum, and Jesse does not invite Leslie to go. Jesse returns from his trip to Washington with Miss Edmunds to find that Leslie has drowned. Leslie’s family decides to move away from Lark Creek, leaving Jesse with Leslie’s paints and art supplies. Jesse begins to cope with his struggle with Leslie’s death, and he tries to overcome his fears. Jesse begins to rebuild the bridge to Terabithia. May Belle becomes the new Queen of Terabithia.

My Girl (1991)Although there is no fantasy element to it, it has a tragic end as well and is a coming of age story like Bridge to Terabithia and is somewhat about two young kids who are also outcasts, but it mostly centers around the girl and her family, but it has the same tone and feel as BTT.
What age group do you think the book Bridge To Terabithia would fit ?
Well I read it when I was 10 and I thought it was difficult. I read it now (im 11) and it seemed a little easier, but still difficult. So i would guess ages 12 to 14? or 13 maybe Edit- How could you read this book in 3rd grade??? I just read it (6th grade) and it confuses me a little. and i am at a pretty high reading level!
In the book Bridge to Terabithia does Leslie die?
I just finished reading it yesterday and I cried my eyes out. Jess had went out of town to some kind of art musuem with his music teacher, Miss Edmunds, leaving Leslie alone. She tries to go into Terabithia by herself. In her attempt, the rope that they use to swing across rips, and she falls, hits her head, and drowns. It's really sad!!
