As her mother prepares to be a contestant on the 1980s television game show, "The $20,000 Pyramid," a twelve-year-old New York City girl tries to make sense of a series of mysterious notes received from an anonymous source that seems to defy the laws of time and space. - Findaway World Llc
"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.'"Â âThe Washington Post
Â
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.
Â
Shortly after a fall-out with her best friend, sixth grader Miranda starts receiving mysterious notes, and she doesnât know what to do. The notes tell her that she must write a letterâa true story, and that she canât share her mission with anyone.
Â
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 problemâbecause the notes tell her that someone is going to die, and she might be too late to stop it.
