Duo Review: When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead


When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead
Juvenile, 2009
Newbery Award Winner
In sixth grade, Miranda and her best friend Sal know the streets of NYC like the back of their hand. But in a series of events that changes everyone's lives, a mystery unfolds that must might be the answer to everything she's been asking.
Raspberry: A sweet book, with a mystery to boot, this was a fun and enjoyable book. A little tame, maybe, for the 'modern' child who is used to Harry Potter, but this is definitely a must-read anyways. I'd recommend it from ages 10 up, and it's squeaky clean.
Graded a B+.
Trackgeek: An intriguing plot and a good juvenile mystery that's well done.
Graded a B+.

I love this book :) I need to reread it so I can see what I missed! And I agree it's squeaky clean so easy to recommend in that way.
