Jess Aaron''s greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in the
fifth grade. He''s been practicing all summer and can''t wait to see
his classmates'' faces when he beats them all. But on the first day
of school, a new kid, a new girl, boldly crosses over to the boy''s

leslie dresses funny, or that her family has a lot of money -- but
no TV. Leslie has imagination. Together, she and Jess create
Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them
reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only
limits. Then one morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess
is able to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally
understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him.
