Recensioner

“It was Leslie who had taken him from the cow pasture into Terabithia and turned him into a king. He had thought that was it. Wasn't king the best you could be? Now it occurred to him that perhaps Terabithia was like a castle where you came to be knighted. After you stayed for a while and grew strong you had to move on. For hadn't Leslie, even in Terabithia, tried to push back the walls of his mind and make him see beyond to the shining world—huge and terrible and beautiful and very fragile? (Handle with care—everything—even the predators.)

Now it was time for him to move out. She wasn't there, so he must go for both of them. It was up to him to pay back to the world in beauty and caring what Leslie had loaned him in vision and strength.

I was particularly impressed with Paterson’s writing during Jesse’s grieving process. This portion of the book was weird, messy, confusing, frustrating, and stupid and that is exactly how grieving feels.

I read this because it was assigned to my granddaughter by her dance teacher. So many of the characters were 2 dimensional they detracted from the book. People in schools and famiies can be difficult, but the negative behavior was extreme. I appreciated tht children saw they could take agency and develop safe activities. They could also accept help when offered. And life does continue after a loss when we expand the number of people we are willing to interact with.

This book is such a classic, and also a really tear-jerking read. I think I like the book a lot better than the movie although I also cried like a baby with the movie but the books was just a lot more detailed. People are so quick to assume that kids shouldn’t be reading about death and that it’s ‘inappropriate’ but kids are incredibly emphatic and you would be surprised as to how much they really are aware of and able to deal with.
