Synopsis
"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.'" -- The Washington Post 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. 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. 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.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (63)
- o***a (726)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived in a timely fashion,almost as described, but dangerously packed in a bubble pak which offered NO protection against crushing! Luckily, book was not damaged during shipping, but had a slight issue with a mouse pop up. I believe I fixed it and the rest of the book is perfect. Seller made an extra effort with a “gift presentation look” including a personal card, which very classy and appreciated!
- d***o (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseShipped and arrived promptly. Exactly as described. Everything came in crisp and clean, almost as good as new. Even some little tiny slips of paper are still there, not a crimp or tear. In fact I think I got more in the package than I was expecting. Packaging was more than adequate-- seller could have been packaging an expensive vase rather than book. Plus it came with gift wrapping and a personalized note.
- t***b (502)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe packaging for essential oil was absolutely beautiful, clearly a lot of care and attention went into it. There was even a thoughtful note included, which made it feel extra special. Shipping was very fast, and the product arrived just as described. Honestly, it made me want to buy more from her just to experience opening such a lovely package again. Highly recommend!
