    Bridge to Terabithia was one of my favorite books as a kid - I still don't understand why it would be challenged.

    Bridge to Terabithia was banned? I saw the movie and enjoyed it and I'm sure my daughter and I will love the book too.

    My favorite banned books are The Outsiders and The Witch of Blackbird a Pond.

    Thanks :)

    As a librarian, I can't choose a fave. It would be like choosing a favorite child!

    Bridge to Terabithia is one of my all-time favorite books!!! I just cannot read it (yes, I've read it more than once) or watch the movie without balling!

    I've loved several other books on the banned list. One of my favorites would probably be Harry Potter.
