1978年 紐伯瑞金獎作品 Newbery Medal Book
2007年 改編同名電影《尋找夢奇地》
不被爸爸肯定、也不受同學歡迎的 Jess 用了整個夏天來練跑,為的只是成為五年級跑最快的人,但他的計畫卻被新來的轉學生破壞,她甚至還是一個女生。Leslie 和內向、熱愛畫畫的 Jess 相反,她是個很男孩子氣、擅長運動的女孩,不過他們同樣都因為特殊的氣質而遭受同學排擠。兩人漸漸熟識後,Jess 邀請 Leslie 一起進入他的幻想園地-Terabithia,要到這裡必須抓著一條繩索擺盪過小溪,在這與世隔絕的森林庇護所裡,享受不被他人批評的自由。然而這樣快樂的日子過得不久,Leslie 就在一次渡河的意外身亡,留下 Jess 得重新獨自面對家庭、校園與少了摯友的夢想境地。
作者 Katherine Paterson 當年創作此書的由來,原來是為了安慰小兒子的朋友過世,幫助年幼的他學會面對死亡與悲傷,本書於1977年初版,並於隔年獲得紐伯瑞兒童文學獎金獎。
This 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.
In addition to being a Newbery Medal winner, 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.
