By sixth grade, Miranda and her best friend, Sal, know how to navigate their New York City neighborhood. They know where it’s safe to go, like the local grocery store, and they know whom to avoid, like the crazy guy on the corner.
But things start to unravel. Sal gets punched by a new kid for what seems like no reason, and he shuts Miranda out of his life. The apartment key that Miranda’s mom keeps hidden for emergencies is stolen. And then Miranda finds a mysterious note scrawled on a tiny slip of paper:
I am coming to save your friend’s life, and my own.
I must ask two favors. First, you must write me a letter.
The notes keep coming, and Miranda slowly realizes that whoever is leaving them knows all about her, including things that haven’t even happened yet. Each message brings her closer to believing that only she can prevent a tragic death. Until the final note makes her think she’s too late.

'When You Reach Me' by Rebecca Stead is about a 12 year old girl who's name is Miranda. She lives in America and she finds a note, which leads to many mysterious and problems. This book is suspensful because every second of the book the reader wants to know who sent the letter and why it was for Miranda. When You reach Me is about friendships, struggles, accidents and excitement. The book is full of wonders and creativity. Every character is important and has a meaning like the laughing man you would thinks is there for no reason but, really he is the person who save Sal in the end. This message shows that you should never judge a book by it's cover. So nme context is difficult to understand like when Marcus and Miranda talk about their book. In conclusion, When You Reach Me is a great book.
