Jess Aarons has been preparing himself to run in the daily class races at his school for weeks. The day he thought he could actually win, he was beat by a girl named Leslie Burke who had just moved in next door. They eventually became best friends and they imagined a world called Terabithia. This book is a Newberry Medal Award wining novel by Katherine Paterson. It was also made into a live-action film and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Both the book and the movie are amazing.
