When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead


Twelve-year-old Miranda is more than a little obsessed with the book A Wrinkle In Time. When she starts finding mysterious notes hinting at the future, a story unfolds that will not leave you disappointed. From ALA,”…Miranda encounters shifting friendships, a sudden punch, a strange homeless man and mysterious notes that hint at knowledge of the future. These and other seemingly random events converge in a brilliantly constructed plot.” This years’ Newbery Medal winner, Stead has done a wonderful job telling Miranda’s story.

I loved this book. I was also obsessed with A Wrinkle In Time as a kid (who wasn’t?) and I appreciated the subtle details that Stead threw in. I haven’t read L’Engle in a long time. It was so nice to revisit it. A quick read, it would be great for reluctant readers.
