When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead, is about an 11 year old girl who starts getting notes from an anonymous person saying that there are here to save her friends life, more and more start coming with hints about the future, proof that her friend's life is in danger. With many different aspects, love, mystery, and science fiction this book appeals to all types of readers. Some parts of the book get very confusing but in the end a twist in the story resolves everything. I would recommend this book to older kids because of the wording but it is still enjoyable for younger kids.This was the best best best book i've ever ever read.Rebecca Stead is the most brilliant author ever. It's so thrilling and suspenseful @ the same time. I had no idea it was coming out in paperback but I found out you can buy it off of this website. I cant wait to read Liar and spy, her new book.This book is totally awesome. It's full of mystery, and it's complicated, but very well written. I reccomend it to people who liked A Wrinkle In Time.This is awesome book about the mystery of time travel and this homeless guy saved main character's best friend. It is strange and complicated, but i think this is good for ten years and up.This is a amazing book. its suspence. It also has fantsy drama and mystery. My friend and i read it for our book report. This books is amazing!

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.

This was a pretty good book. It was suspenseful but I found it a pretty confusing. It was also a bit sad and dramatic. I think only people above the age 9 would understand it.

i love this book read it in about a week it was so good I mean really good a really good mystery you have to read it try to last year but then I did not read it this year totally cool I hope she writes another book I will read it in a flahs
This book is AMAZIINGG! At first when i saw it i was like well i"ll give it a try. When I first opened the book I thought to myself, this is probably going to be a waste of my money. BUT I was wrong! This book blew me off of my feet. Stead used the most interesting yet short chapters. Stead is amazing she made me confused where I had to go back in the book , but then at the end of the book it all came together. So when I finished this book i thought thats it? I promise you will love this book. Stead did it again!
i thought this book was ok. the problem is that its confusing. for me, a book is not nearly as good when something is confusing.
OK, another one of my all time favorites. It did get a little confusing, but it's totally worth the confusion. I've read the book at least 10 times and it gets better every time! Couldn't put it down...ever!
This book ranks highest out of all the books I've read. It is a confusing but amazing book Which everyone deserves to read. I highly recommend it. P.S. Rebecca Stead is an awesome author!!
