When You Reach Me
Even though this book is intended for children, it left me guessing til the very end. I couldn't put the dang book down! This Newbery Award winning book for middle readers follows Miranda, a 12 year old, as she muddles through sixth grade, making friends, and deciphering crazy notes that seemingly predict the future. The short chapters keep you hooked and it isn't til the end that you realized you've spent an entire afternoon frantically turning pages.
Miranda is quirky young girl who has to deal with the crazy man on the street who sleeps under a mailbox, her mom's boyfriend, Mr. Perfect, and the loss of her best friend, Sal (just to name a few). Despite everything life throws at her Miranda stays strong and discovers something amazing in the process.
A must read! You won't regret it, Rebecca Stead creates a masterpiece for your imagination!
