Description

Four mysterious letters change Miranda's world. Twelve year olds Miranda and Sal have always done everything together since they met as toddlers. Sal always makes Miranda feel braver when they have to walk past the crazy man who lives on the corner near their apartments. But when one day Sal gets attacked by a strange new kid on the block, he shuts Miranda out of his life, and she is forced to make other friends. But why does she feel so friendly towards Marcus, the boy who punched Sal? There is no explanation until she finds a mysterious note scrawled on a tiny slip of paper:
"I am coming to save your friend's life, and my own. I ask two favours. First, you must write me a letter."

Whoever is leaving the notes seems to know all about her, including things that haven't even happened yet...When You Reach Me is a story about friendship and time. It's an intriguing puzzle with pieces that fit together in the most intricate and unexpected ways. This is a really fun, well written story for kids just crossing the line from childhood to puberty. Miranda is a quirky and unselfconsious narrator who makes it a joy to read When You Reach Me!
