Rebecca Stead is amazing. I saw her at the Texas Book Festival at A Wrinkle In Time panel. I have not read A Wrinkle In Time, but I like time-travel, so my Mom took me to hear the talk. A Wrinkle In Time is Mirada’s favorite book, and she carries it around everywhere. I loved this book; time-travel comes alive and becomes real, and gives you an idea of how bad Anonymous felt -enough to go invent a time machine to go back and fix things even if it means great sacrifice. A very moving story that is a must-read. Brilliant work by Rebecca Stead, and I will read her other books. So, who wrote the letters? Read When You Reach Me to find out!

This Newbery Medal winner that has a fantastic puzzle at its heart has been called “smart and mesmerizing,” (The New York Times), “superb” (The Wall Street Journal), and “incandescent” (The Washington Post).
When Miranda starts receiving mysterious notes, she doesn’t know what to do.
The notes tell her that she must write a letter, a true story, and that she can’t share her mission with anyone—not even her best friend, Sal.
It would be easy to ignore the strange messages, except that whoever is leaving them has an uncanny ability to predict the future. If that’s the case, then Miranda has an even bigger problem—because the notes tell her that someone is going to die, and she might be too late to stop it.
“Lovely and almost impossibly clever.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

this is the best book I have ever read but it was kinda confusing
it told about some kid in school life, friends which everybody will hope to read, agree and live with it!
When You Reach Me is such an original. It has a story you'll never find anywhere else. Ms. Stead is brilliant.
Awesome book
