When You Reach Me: (Newbery Medal Winner) (Yearling Newbery)

<p><b>"Like <i>A Wrinkle in Time</i> (Miranda's favorite book), <i>When You Reach Me</i> far surpasses the usual whodunit or sci-fi adventure to become an incandescent exploration of 'life, death, and the beauty of it all.'" -<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br><b> </b><br><b>This Newbery Medal winner that has been called "smart and mesmerizing," (<i>The New York Times</i>) and "superb" (<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>) will appeal to readers of all types, especially those who are looking for a thought-provoking mystery with a mind-blowing twist.</b><br> <br>Shortly after a fall-out with her best friend, sixth grader Miranda starts receiving mysterious notes, and 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.<br> <br>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 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. <br> <br>Winner of the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Fiction <br>A <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller and Notable Book<br>Five Starred Reviews<br>A Junior Library Guild Selection<br> <br>"Absorbing." -<i>People</i><br><br>"Readers ... are likely to find themselves chewing over the details of this superb and intricate tale long afterward." -<i>The Wall Street Journal</i><br> <br>"Lovely and almost impossibly clever." -<i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i><br> <br>"It's easy to imagine readers studying Miranda's story as many times as she's read L'Engle's, and spending hours pondering the provocative questions it raises." -<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, Starred review<br><i><br></i></p>
