| 520 | |a The author analyses two award-winning juvenile novels, Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson and Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy by Gary Schmidt. Each novel portrays a deep friendship between a boy and girl who cross a stream (or river) into a world that includes fantasy, play, closeness to nature and animals, and a sense of the sacred. Within a year, the girl dies, leaving the boy changed forever. The friendship, the journey, and the loss all contribute to the boy’s maturation. While both novels offer a compelling portrait of spiritual growth in children approaching puberty, Schmidt’s adds complexity by placing the friendship within a larger cultural context; he explores the interplay of religious tradition, racism, and economics. Spiritual maturation is portrayed as a gradual process that is rooted in personal experience, allowing room for doubts and questions. These novels can help readers to think more deeply about the following five themes: (1) the value of ‘soul friendship’ (what the Irish call anam cara, friend of the heart); (2) talking back to authority figures; (3) freedom and personal conscience; (4) growing from disappointment or loss; and (5) flexibility in relating to the Holy. | ||
