'''''Bridge to Terabithia''''' is a novel by Katherine Paterson, and there are two [[Film of the Book|film adaptations]] (a 1985 [[Made for TV Movie]] by the [[PBS]] and a 2007 theatrical film produced by [[Walden Media]]).
 
Line 5:
 
The story has a [[Bittersweet Ending]]. It has been banned on more than one occasion for [[Hot for Student]] [[Subtext]] and other [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|non-existent sexual content]]<ref>Jesse has a crush on one of his teachers, something everyone who's reached the age of 12 can probably relate to. She invites him to the museum, and insists on paying on the grounds that [[Fair for Its Day|she's a liberated woman and invited ''him'']] (and, more practically, she's a teacher and can afford it better). That's literally as far as it goes -- there's zero evidence that said teacher has any inappropriate feelings or is aware of his crush. Once more, she invited Jesse ''and'' Leslie.</ref>
