Hey Blog readers!!! When You Reach Me is a really good book. I have read it 3 times, I know a lot of people read it last year in 6th grade....but since its SO good I needed to make a blog on it.
WARNING: This book is very confusing, sometimes you have to go back and read the chapter before to see whats going on.
So, When you Reach me is about a girl named Miranda and a Boy names Sal. One day Miranda and Sal were walking back from school and Sal got punched in the face. After that Sal didn't want to be friends with Miranda anymore (you find out why at the end of the book.) This is a really hard change for Miranda because Sal was pretty much her only friend. A couple days after he got punched Miranda started getting black mailed, she got freaked out and told her mom...but it kept on happening. The thing about this book is that every single little detail happens for a reason, so you really have to pay attention otherwise you will get completely lost. I would tell you what happens next but that would give too much away...so you have to read it for your self!!!!

P.S. The Same author (Rebecca Stead) Wrote another book called First Light, its not quite as good...but its still pretty good!!!
I liked When You Reach Me . I like a book that makes you think about every detail when you get to the end of the book. The $20,000 Pyramid, the punch, the friends, the key, school - everything. I can think of three films that are a bit like this, where small details make the pieces all fit together.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you liked is. What was Stead's other book like?
Glad you liked THIS. Sorry for bad proof reading.
