BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA is a poignant adaptation of Katherine Paterson’s coming-of-age novel. Set in the late 1960’s, the Newbery Award winning book reveals the friendship that blossoms between a shy boy named Jesse and Leslie, the unusual new girl in town. Together, they escape from their real life troubles of family and school bullies, and create the imaginary Kingdom of Terabithia. Here, they are King and Queen, and rule over the magical Terabithians, the people who live there. In Terabithia, Leslie is able to find unconditional acceptance and Jesse finds the courage to believe in himself.
