No one can say for sure why Leslie drowns. This is how it happened:
Jesse has big crush on his teacher, Miss. Edmunds. When Jesse goes with Miss Edmunds to the National Gallery of Art, Leslie goes to Terabithia by herself. The creek is overflowing because of the rains and she swings on the rope above the creek to cross it. The rope breaks and she falls into the creek. Although Leslie is a good swimmer, she can’t make it to shore and she drowns.
Her death brings the story to the climax, or the central crisis. Through her death, Jesse has to come understand himself and overcome his fears.
