Additional Details
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.

Lovable Book
This is a lovable book that is very exciting!!! Great book!
Great Bookclub or Literature Class Book
Very well written book with many twists that unfurl and take some thinking about (or even discussion) to really understand. Fun, easy read, highly recommended!
Amazing!
This book is an amazingly constructed work that carefully crafts what appears to be a simple story about a group of students in late 1970's New York City. Each detail and moment is essential as the tale is woven to its conclusion. That Newbery Committee sure knew what they were doing when they awarded this book the 2010 Newbery Medal! :-)
Great
I really liked this book and recomend it for all.
LOVE THIS
This Newbery award-winning youth book was a knockout that completely won me over. It’s only at the end that you realize you’ve been reading a puzzle and have been gradually picking up the pieces the whole time. You'll want to read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle afterwards. Give into that impulse - it just makes them both better.
Wonderful tale
This is a beautiful book best suited for slightly older readers. The plot is wonderful and encourages good values of trust, love, friendship and forgiveness. The science is a little complicated but will hold onto older children's attention.
When You Reach Me review
When You Reach Me is a breath taking book with good plot and a magical ending. Miranda is a adventurous girl who takes chances and tries to uncover who is sending her the notes. Rebecca Stead did a wonderful job telling the story and explaining the characters. I give this book 5 stars. Everyone should read this book it is just so beautiful I would read it again and again!
