Jess wanted to be the fastest fifth grader this year in school, so he would get up before chores had to be done and run in the field.  In August Leslie moved in next door and eventually became Jess' best friend.  They would go on adventures together in the woods behind their houses and created the world of Terabithia.  During a rain storm a tragic event took place and now Jess had to face being alone once again.
