Bridge To Terabithia

“It was up to him to pay back to the world in beauty and caring what Leslie had loaned him in vision and strength”

For such a short book, it deals and communicates the message of dealing with loss so well. The story in short is about a young man who finds a friend in an unlikely girl who moves in next door and how he copes with her loss when she is gone. Although it's done rather quickly I like the overall theme of remember those who have gone on before us and how we choose to carry on their memory. This book helped be cope with a loss the first time I read it and seems to do the same thing each time I pick it back up. It's a quick read that can actually be done in a day with very minimal interruptions.
