** In a [http://www.vpr.net/episode/45776/ 2009 radio interview], Paterson recalled that it took weeks to summon up the courage to write the ending, to {{spoiler|kill off the girl she had brought back to life.}}
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Jesse and Leslie both went barefoot (as is seen on the cover) partly because all the shoes they got were hand me downs and also it was not at all uncommon for kids in the 1970s to go barefoot, especially in the country.
* {{spoiler|[[Death
* [[Evil Redhead]]: Gary Fulcher in the 2007 film, though he's more of a [[Jerk Jock]] than evil, he's highly antagonistic throughout.
* [[Fake American]]: Everyone except the main cast of the movie.

* [[It's All My Fault]]: Jesse doesn't invite Leslie to the museum in order to have some alone time with Ms. Edmunds; {{spoiler|Leslie dies crossing the rope swing to Terabithia alone the same day.}}

** And also points out that C.S. Lewis probably took the name of said island from the terebinth tree, which is often mentioned in [[
** The fact that the kids constantly reference the Narnia books for inspiration in creating their own kingdom renders this argument moot.
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: Quite possibly the most baffling case in the history of cinema. The trailer for the 2007 film made it seem like a [[Narnia]]-esque fantasy movie where Terabithia was real.
