Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is a fifth grader aspiring artist living with his financially-struggling family in Lark Creek, Virginia. He rides the bus to school with his little sister May Belle (Bailee Madison), where he avoids the school bully Janice Avery (Lauren Clinton). In class, Jess is teased by classmates Scott Hoager (Cameron Wakefield) and Gary Fulcher (Elliot Lawless), and meets a new student his age by the name Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb). At recess, Jess enters a running event, for which he had been training at home. Leslie also enters and manages to beat all the boys, much to Jess's irritation. On the way home, Jess and Leslie learn that they are next-door neighbors.Bridge to Terabithia
Later in the evening, Jess becomes frustrated when he finds that May Belle has drawn in his notebook, but his mom who favours her daughters and his strict father (Robert Patrick) side with her. He later watches them gardening together, disappointed that his father never spends time with him. The next day at school, Leslie compliments Jess's drawing ability after seeing his notebook, and they soon become best friends. After school they venture into the woods and swing across a creek on a rope. Jess and Leslie find an abandoned treehouse and a broken down truck on the other side, and invent a new world, which Leslie names "Terabithia." The fantasy world, which is a reflection on their lives, comes to life through their eyes as they explore the surroundings. For the next few days, Jess and Leslie spend their free time in the tree house getting to know each other.
