There is something odd about this story, however. When she forgets her apartment key, Miranda goes to the nearby market and tells the owner the story of A Wrinkle in Time. Miranda's mother has been selected to compete on the $20,000 Pyramid, and she, her boyfriend Richard, and Miranda practice after work.
Her best and only friend, Sal, lives in the apartment underneath with his single mother as well. When You Reach Me is a clever and generally angst-free story about a sixth grader named Miranda, who lives in 1979 New York with her single mother. It was also cleverly promoted on a table of other YA fiction, under a sign reading "Recommended books with positively NO vampires, zombies or monsters!" Which tells you all you need to know about all the other books being promoted right now.ĭon't get me started on What Hath Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Wrought. I picked this up while at the book store, in part because of the Newberry Award sticker on the cover.
