When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

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.

    1. I agree with you, and I think that a lot of people put it to the side because of the cover. This book was a really great book and I loved all the little bits and pieces in it. I read this a little while ago when my mom had me read it, and to be honest, I did not think that I would like it. Once I got into it, it was one of the best books I have ever read! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery.

    3. I agree with h6edwards, many people put the book down because of its cover but have they every heard never judge a book by its cover? this book has a lot of suspense and many questions that were answered. this book is one of the best that I have read even though, as n1barksdale stated, its not a type of book I would read. I recommend this for science fiction lovers because the book turns out to be not at all of what you expected.
