Engaging and Emotional story

Bridge to Terabithia - Katherine Paterson

This is such a good read! Also, such a heartbreak. As an adult this book is still so engaging and emotional. I feel like kids would really enjoy reading this and connection with all the many aspects of it. One thing I would really like to connect is my students imagination. In the story, the kids are able to go out in the woods and entertain themselves for hours and be kids. I would like for my students to write a short story using their imagination. I feel like this could just be a fun writing task that they would enjoy. This can be creative and interesting, especially for older grades.
