Críticas

Jess Aarons, um garoto de 10 anos, passou o verão treinando para ser o campeão de corrida da escola. Na volta às aulas, é ultrapassado por uma aluna nova. Os dois tornam-se grandes amigos, e criam um reino imaginário chamado Terabítia, onde governam soberanos protegidos das ameaças e zombarias da vida cotidiana. Até que um dia, uma fatalidade os separa, e Jess precisa ser forte para enfrentar essa triste realidade.
