Jess Aarons has his sights set on becoming the fastest boy in school, dedicating his summer to practice with a winning spirit. His life takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Leslie Burke, a new neighbor who challenges his perceptions. Leslie’s unconventional nature and surprising speed on the track initially leave Jess humbled, but her intelligence and wit soon win him over. Together, they create Terabithia, a magical kingdom hidden on an island across the creek. Within this secret world, Jess finds solace from his boisterous family, his father’s disapproval of his artistic passions, and his younger sister May Belle’s constant presence. Terabithia is a place where he can be strong and courageous. Their journey to this land involves a thrilling rope-swing, where they are crowned King and Queen, facing imaginary foes, sharing their deepest hopes, and devising strategies against their perceived adversaries. Their reign feels invincible, until a devastating tragedy shatters their world. In the face of profound grief and anger, Jess discovers unexpected familial support and, as the enduring King, finds the strength to preserve Terabithia for generations to come.
