If that is the case, then Miranda has a big problem-because the notes tell her that someone is going to die, and she might be too late to stop it.
It would be easy to ignore the strange messages, except that whoever is leaving them has an uncanny ability to predict the future. The notes tell her that she must write a letter-a true story, and that she can’t share her mission with anyone. Shortly after a fall-out with her best friend, sixth grader Miranda starts receiving mysterious notes, and she doesn’t know what to do. This Newbery Medal winner that has been called "smart and mesmerizing," ( The New York Times) and "superb" ( The Wall Street Journal) will appeal to readers of all types, especially those who are looking for a thought-provoking mystery with a mind-blowing twist. Reading When You Reach Me was a roller-coaster (especially the last part!) and I really recommend it to everyone."Like A Wrinkle in Time (Miranda's favorite book), When You Reach Me far surpasses the usual whodunit or sci-fi adventure to become an incandescent exploration of 'life, death, and the beauty of it all.'" - The Washington Post Their personalities weren't typical and they weren't just generic personalities (e.g., a a mean popular girl or a nerdy unpopular kid). The characters were all like ordinary people I'd see everyday, which gave me the feeling that I was reading realistic fiction rather than science-fiction. The way it all tied up was wonderful and worth all of the confusion the ending really was the best part. It got a little confusing in the middle for me because I couldn't understand why the characters were doing what they were doing, but it all gets brilliantly explained at the end. The novel really conveys the feeling of normalcy it seems like the every-day life of an ordinary middle schooler, but when the future-predictions letters are added into the mix, it feels surreal- almost dream-like. After she got more and more letters, Miranda was determined to solve the mystery behind them. Sixth grader Miranda Sinclair started receiving strange letters that somehow predict the future.
