My folks didn't know what kind of books to buy me when I was a kid because they hadn't been readers. So they started buying me Newberry winners and they were all great, which is why this book shouldn't be a surprise- but it is.Heartfelt, complex, smart and fantastical- it's a mystery in many parts, including the bizarre language of middle-school age friendship and time travel. Highly recommended (for adults, not just kids).
What an engaging book. I love the idea of that this revolves around that old game show, in a blurry background kind of way, $20,000 Pyramid. I grew up watching that show, perhaps some reruns—I can't know for sure, because I was born the time in which this is set. So, the fall of 1978 and the winter heading into 1979, are not in my memory banks. I love that this takes place during the time in which I was born but could not remember. But, that orange and brown haze which seems to define that era, is alive and well within the confines of When You Reach Me.Revolving around an old Dick Clark hosted game show seems a little gimmicky on the surface, but Stead manages it deftly by setting it as a soft backdrop and a framing device. With Pyramid chapter titles, i.e., Things You Count, Things You Push Away, Salty Things, etc, you have a clever and grounding way to deliver these episodic moments from Miranda's life and hold onto that tie to the game show and her mother's appearance on it, coming up that spring.The notes, and the missing items, provide a fantastic puzzle for the reader to unravel. The personal problems Miranda has to deal with are simple by definition but complex and tricky in life. Figuring out who you are and trying to understand the people around you is something at which everyone, at every age, struggles. Miranda is on the cusp of something extraordinary with the notes and the eventual discovery, but she's also on that cusp of heading into her teenage years, that apex which everyone must traverse as you leave childhood.Not only do I adore this book, I would’ve absolutely loved it when I was in the target age range. I loved it so much, just because it's an entertaining book to read, that, after returning my borrowed copy to the library, I immediately ordered the hardcover for my sons to read.
I am a 6th grader now and had to read this for summer reading. I loved this book! It is my all time favorite now. I was a little confused at first about who Miranda was writing to in the beginning. The jumping from present to recalling things that happened in the past may have confused me a little, but in the end when it all came together- I was psyched. It all made sense, more sense than I ever could have imagined. I think the confusion in the beginning is part of the book, the mystery, and just a different style of writing than I am used to reading. This is the best book that I have ever been assigned to read.
This is one book that I read to my students every year, and this is now the 8th time I am reading this absolutely wonderful novel! I fell in love with the writing style of Rebecca and how she crafted her characters so well. Placing this story in the late seventies/early eighties was so wonderfully clever as well, which I truly believe makes the character interaction and development so much deeper and meaningful. Not mention being a young person myself during that time and remembering things like the $20,000 Pyramid, shag carpeting and record albums just adds authenticity as well.The tie in with A Wrinkle In Time, scientific theories and the huge mystery that keeps you hanging until the end makes this one novel that I tell my classes that I would want with me on a desert island, no joke. It is that great and I highly recommend that ANY person read this very beautiful and amazing piece of work. I love this book!
A Wrinkle In Time has always been one of my favorite books; this is one of the few books that has grabbed me in the same way. It's NOT a copy or imitation; it's nothing like AWiT, but AWIT does play a huge role. I'm just going to leave it at that.Rebecca Stead, if you're reading this, I wrote a fan letter to Madeleine L'Engle in 1985. She answered--and her signature was just the way you describe.
I was intrigued by the promise of time travel in this book, perhaps by the possibility of one older self sending one's younger self messages. Or a friend or stranger in the future sending messages to yourself, in the present.This book left me underwhelmed. The explanations of the time travel were gibberish, honestly. It's like they said, "This happens... then this happens!" No, that doesn't explain anything. You need to explain HOW it happens, not what happens.And why did Marcus hit Sal? This is held up as a key moment in the book, yet even by the end, it's never explained.Yes, the middle-grade heroine is quite likeable, but a lot of the book delves into the boring survey of "oh this is a cute trait of this character, so unlike others" and "oh this is a cute occurrence that happens on this street, observe it carefully!". It's like a sketch of what one can "see" and note in others. But it doesn't make a story. I've noticed a lot of those books lately. They try to outbid each other as who can come up with the most remarkable traits in people, society, and environment and everyday life. But there's little story or conflict.
This isn't so much science fiction as a (rather short) glimpse into the way friendships work in 6th grade--well observed, low-key funny, heartfelt, and true to life, with the really nasty feuds left out (yay!). The kids' interactions and shifting alliances are authentic, and Miranda is an engaging narrator. The time-travel angle is only obliquely related to the story, setting up the reason for Miranda to write what we're reading and providing a wistful twist at the end. But since I'm Miranda's age, it was worth reading for the nostalgic trip back to a kinder 1979.
