when you reach me

Stead, R. (2009). When you reach me. New York: Wendy Lamb Books. 
ISBN: 978-0385737425

Winner of the 2010 Newbery Award, When You Reach Me is full of mystery and excitement. The story follows Miranda, the 12 year old protagonist, as she attempts to decipher anonymous notes being sent to her that seem to predict the future. A thrilling puzzle, it is also the story of connections between people, and the transformative power of love and friendship. For a deeper appreciation for this book, read Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time first; it figures heavily into the plot of When you Reach Me.
