This book is a book of pain. Pain for the characters and for the reader. It's more of an emotional pain than a physical pain. The antagonist deals with bullying and stuff at school, but when he comes home he and his friend escape across the river to their world of Terebithia.

Now, at first I thought I would enjoy this book because I am a fantasy world and I thought Okay, made up world. Must be at least part fantasy right? Well, it really was not. Terebithia is hardly mentioned at all. It lives in the children's' imaginations, but even then it doesn't come it into the book much at all. Contrary to the title, would say Terebithia is not a big part of the plot at all. the book is really just about what the main characters go through at school and how they view the world etc. Not very exciting. I found myself struggling to get through it actually.

People who want to cry.

How depressed it made me feel! Reading it just ruined my whole day. Then I watched the movie.

Sad, sad, sad,sad,SAD! I have never cried more in a book than in this one. I just literally broke down. What made it so bad was that it was so sudden! I was not expecting it at all.
