Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson Narrated by Robert Sea...
Quote:
Update: Don't remember much of the movie from when I was a kid but liked the characters even then, so, I picked this up.
It's so much better than the books which were just going into the realm of fiction which I understand but don't find appealing.
This is much better.
I am from a poor country and when as a kid I did get a chance to see this movie on the cable the light used to go out many times and we had no power backup so I never actually saw the movie completely. Parts from here and parts from there but even as a kid it was clear that it is something deep so when I saw the audiobook version of the book, I bought it right away.
Will update this when I do finish the book.

This beloved Newbery Medal-winning novel by bestselling author Katherine Paterson is a modern classic of friendship and loss.
Jess Aarons has been practicing all summer so he can be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. And he almost is, until the new girl in school, Leslie Burke, outpaces him. The two become fast friends and spend most days in the woods behind Leslie's house, where they invent an enchanted land called Terabithia. One morning, Leslie goes to Terabithia without Jess and a tragedy occurs. It will take the love of his family and the strength that Leslie has given him for Jess to be able to deal with his grief.
Bridge to Terabithia was also named an ALA Notable Children’s Book and has become a touchstone of children’s literature, as have many of Katherine Paterson’s other novels, including The Great Gilly Hopkins and Jacob Have I Loved.
