When You Reach Me is a mystery story by Rebecca Stead. In this book, the main characters are Miranda, Sal, Julia, The Laughing Man, and Annemarie. Miranda is the main girl and the storyteller, Sal is Miranda’s old friend that she doesn’t talk to anymore, Julia is the snob who hates Miranda, The Laughing man is a homeless guy who is crazy, and Annemarie is Miranda’s new best friend.
This book is about a girl (Miranda) who gets these letters from someone, but she doesn’t know who. These letters reveal puzzling information that involves her future, her friends, and her family. Over time, she begins to realize how her life starts to change and how different she is compared to before. Throughout the book Miranda and Annemarie live normal lives (other than getting the letters!).
The setting is mostly at school but is also at Miranda house, Sal’s house, and Annemarie’s house. What I liked about this book is that it is told by Miranda and that along the way she gives some hints to what happens at the end. This was a good book for me and I recommend it to middle school girls who want to read a mystery book about a girl and her friends that has a twist at the end. I love this book and hope whoever reads it does too!
