Both Bridge to Terabithia and Tuck Everlasting are good choice to teach in a classroom because they teach lessons and have aspects that children can learn from.

Together with Bastian, we dive into a fabulous life, full of adventure and mystery, but walking on the edge of reality. Here everything is real - love, fear, pain and drama. At some period of time, cease to understand, where is this line between reality and fantasy. So what's it about? About a little boy who doesn't see in real life nothing good and who is looking for yourself in the book?

The book ends with Winnie pouring the spring water on the toad that “convinced” her to run away so that it would be safe forever.
