When You Reach Me By: Rebecca Stead

This book took my breath away it was an amazing story that you must read. The book When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead was absolutely incredible, with every page i read it got more mesmerizing and intense, I couldn't stop reading.

Can you imagine, your just a sixth grader and your life is just perfectly normal. Then out of nowhere so many things happen at once. Your best freind doesnt want to be freinds with you anymore, a girl starts hating you, and you start getting mysterious notes that can change everything. This is Miranda's life. This is a book of mystery, adventure, and science fiction. Miranda can possibly change a tragic death, will she succeed, or not? What I like about the authors style is there's many mysteries in the story. At the end of the book all of them are uncovered and it's unbelievable.

The main characters in the book are Miranda, Sal, Annemarie, and Miranda's mom. **__Mirnada__**-she is the main character in the book she lives with her mother. She is a very nice girl who just doesn't know what to do. She has to uncover who's sending these very suspicious notes and more. **__Sal__**-he was Miranda's best friend. They were friends ever since they could remember and one day he just stops being Miranda's friend. He's a nice character but no one seems to know why he doesn't want to be friends anymore. Which is adding to Miranda's problems. **__Annemarie__**-she is a very friendly and nice person. She is now really good friends with Miranda they work together at the school in the cafeteria. She is best friends with a girl who hates Miranda which doesn't help because she hates when they hang out. **__Miranda's mom__**-she is a very generous and nice lady who just wants the best for her daughter.She is also a very smart lady, she is entered in a game show and they could possibly win $20,000, that they really need. If they win the money there would be so many new and great opprutunities opened for them.

The setting of the book is in 1979. It is some what like are world today. Miranda has a hard life. She does not live in the best enviornment, there's always concern with everything. Ecspecially with the crazy man who lives on their corner. You can definately picture this setting, it's so descriptive like you're actually in the book.

In this story the main plot is someone is writing these suspisious notes and leaving these signs to Miranda. Every step she takes she gets closer and closer to figure out whos doing this. It's causing alot of problems and can be a life or death situation.

I would definately recommend this book. It is a must read book. It's mysteriously spectacular and you won't be able to put it down once you start reading. I loved it and I know once you start reading you'll love it too.
