Based on Katherine Paterson's Newbery Award-winning novel, Bridge to Terabithia recounts the heart-warming tale of kids who stumble upon the fantasy kingdom Terabithia, where they face the challenges of childhood and learn that friendship is life's one true reward. Jess Aarons-played by Josh Hutcherson ("RV")-a shy, artistic 5th grade boy, is the fastest runner in school until new girl in town, outgoing Leslie Burke ("Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" star AnnaSophia Robb), busts Jess's speed record. The two eventually form a friendship over their love of storytelling and discover that the make-believe world they created has come to live in a secret forest. Their adventures in Terabithia, where they are crowned king and queen, help them face the challenges of growing up.
