When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

When you read this awesome book, you will be entering Miranda's crazy sixth grade life!  In everyones' life, there will always be a crazy person.  For Miranda, it's the guy on the corner.  There are a lot of cause-and-effects in her life.  Most of them don't even seem like they should match up, but sometimes life likes to throw you a curveball.  When Miranda starts getting notes about saving lives, and lots of other things, she knows that this is more abnormal than the usual weirdness in her life.  One of the letters demands that Miranda writes a letter back.  She suddenly knows that these notes are very, very important.  This book is a great science fiction novel.

Hint-Hint: You need to read A Wrinkle In Time before you read this book because it will give away a lot of the end of A Wrinkle In Time.
