内容概要: Two outsiders create their own fantasy world and in doing so forge a friendship that survives even grief.
Jess Aaron's greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. He's been practicing all summer and can't wait to see his classmates' faces when he beats them all. But on the first day of school, a new kid, a new girl, boldly crosses over to the boy's side of the playground and outruns everyone.That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. It doesn't matter to Jess that leslie dresses funny, or that her family has a lot of money -- but no TV. Leslie has imagination. Together, she and Jess create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits. Then one morning a terrible tragedy occurs. Only when Jess is able to come to grips with this tragedy does he finally understand the strength and courage Leslie has given him.
系列图书介绍：纽伯瑞儿童文学奖（Newbery Medal），又称纽伯瑞奖，由美国图书馆儿童服务学会于1922年为纪念纽伯瑞而创设的奖项。 这个奖每年颁发一次，专门奖励上一年度出版的以文字为主的英语儿童文学优秀作品。这一奖项设立近百年来，对美国以及世界的儿童文学有着极大的影响。
纽奖作品常常关注世界上在各种境遇中成长的孩子们的故事，而且大都是以7-14岁孩子所处的量变到质变的阶段为主角，从孩子角度，讲述他们的成长故事。作为以“文字”为核心衡量标准的奖项，纽伯瑞奖作品的文字表述极富有美感，是体会英语语言之美的绝佳读物。
