When You Reach Me is a good mystery novel that I read. The book is by Rebecca Stead. It’s all about how Miranda receives letters from some mystery person. Miranda learns who to avoid in her neighborhood by sixth grade like one crazy guy on the corner. This book takes place where she lives, in school and around her neighborhood. I would recommend this book for people who like mysteries!
Miranda is curious, adventurous and brave. Miranda is curious because she likes to know what’s going on around her and she has so many questions in her head that she wants to answer, like when someone keeps writing her letters and she doesn’t know who it is. I like that about her. Miranda is calm because when she reads the letters, she doesn’t tell anyone and doesn’t go crazy about it because she was told not to. Miranda is brave because when boys gang up on her or her friends, she stands up for them. I like that about her because she’s being an ally.
One of the most interesting parts of the book is when Miranda figures out who she gets the letters from. It was also interesting when Miranda’s best friend Sal got punched in the stomach because one of the boys just decided that he wanted to see what would happen if he did that. I think it wasn’t cool how Sal got mad at Miranda for no reason. It was interesting because he said he really just needed a break from their friendship which is why he didn’t talk to her for a while. He knew that his only friend was a girl and he wanted more boy friends to hang out with.
I enjoyed the book When You Reach Me. I enjoyed it because I liked how I had to figure out what was going to happen next, and who was writing the letters to Miranda. I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries and figuring things out like a puzzle. I find Miranda a unique character because she starts something she doesn’t give up. I really like that about her that’s why I read this book in the first place. I also heard that the book was really good from a lot of my friends. On a scale from one to five I would give this book three stars which would mean it was pretty good. But it is not my favorite book. I think people should read this book!
Wow! Now I really want to read this book because I love mysteries and how the reader kind of has to put things together. I will definitely try to read this book.
I think your review is great. I really liked how you put your opinion on how Sal got punched.
Wyeth! Great work your discription is very good because of how you explained the character and the book.
Nice book review. You made this book seem really suspenseful and entertaining. I like mysteries and I might read this.
Hi Wyeth. I think that it is really cool how in the book you have to figure out what is going to happen next. It must feel kind-of like what Miranda is feeling, what is going to happen next! When is the next big thing going to happen!
Wyeth, I think you did an amazing review. I also love to figure out what happens next. I really want to read this book because I like mystery books and you made the book sound really interesting.
Rebecca Stead is one of my favorite authors. She is very subtle in her writing and I like how you picked up on that in your review. If you haven’t read Liar and Spy yet, I recommend that one!
Wow Wyeth! This was a great review. I loved how you explain your thinking. From reading your review I really want to read this book! Great work!
Wow that book review made me really intrigued to read more!!! Great job!!
I read this book, it is my favorite book ever. I agree that she starts something she does not give up. I would call her determined. I can not wait to read your next review.

Hi Wyeth,
Why is this book not your favorite? Is it that you have read better books or is it that you just didn’t really like this book? Would you call Miranda perseverant? I really liked your review. It was really detailed.
Hi Wyeth,
I was going to read this book but then I said, “Nah, there are better books.” But now that I have read your book review I don’t mind if I do.
This sounds so good. I feel like I heard about it before. Now I really want to read it. The main character sounds brave like you said.
This book sounds very interesting, even though I have not read it, this book review makes me want to read it because I like mysteries.
I usually don’t like mysteries but the way you wrote the book review really caught my attention. Love your review Wyeth. 😉
Great job! I haven’t read this book, but now I want to read it! Good job describing Miranda.
I really liked how you discribed the plot and what your book is about without spoiling it.
I really liked your review! I wonder who Miranda gets her letters from. Your review made me really excited to read this book!
