When You Reach Me

This Newbery Medal winner that has been called "smart & mesmerizing," (The New York Times) & "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. 

Shortly after a fall-out with her best friend, sixth grader Miranda starts receiving mysterious notes, & she doesn’t know what to do. The notes tell her that she must write a letter—a true story, & that she can’t share her mission with anyone. 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. 

Winner of the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Fiction
