text: how could you write a summary for the book bridge to terabithia in your own words?   well, i read that book last year. it is really good! to summarize this book you have to think back to the story. you could connect it to your life and how it is similiar. you could use an adage or common saying that stands for this book.  but mainly, you have to think about the story and write down what you remember. in your own words means that you can't copy down every word from the story. good luck!
