WHEN YOU REACH ME

Stead, R. (2009). When you reach me. New York, NY: Wendy Lamb Books.

Plot Synopsis


Myranda is a 12 year old, latchkey girl who lives in New York City. Her life is pretty ordinary.........until her best friend, Sal gets punched for no apparent reason,  and then he retreats from her life. At this time, strange things start happening, she receives several cryptic notes and things begin vanishing.


Review


This book is fantastical, it has elements of science fiction, and mystery, and that is what makes it so brilliant.
The book grabs the reader on the first page, and every page after that invites the reader to try and solve the mystery, understand time travel, and spend time with an average girl and her friends.

This book will appeal to wide audience, it is fun, it presents a challenge, but is written in a way that does not cause confusion. I would hightly recommend this book to any pre-teen or young teen. It offers the market something new, without talking down to the readership.

Age Range - 9-14
