Four mysterious letters change Miranda's world.

Miranda and Sal are best friends, but when Sal gets punched by a new kid for no apparent reason, he shuts Miranda out of his life. Then she finds a mysterious note scrawled on a tiny slip of paper: I am coming to save your friend's life, and my own. I ask two favours. First, you must write me a letter.
Miranda finds other notes left for her in strange places and she realises that whoever is leaving them knows all about her, including things that haven't even happened yet . . .

When You Reach Me is a story about friendship and time. It's an intriguing puzzle with pieces that fit together in the most intricate and unexpected ways.

Praise for When You Reach Me

'In this taut novel, every word, every sentence, has meaning and substance...' New York Times Book Review

PRH, PRH

'It's easy to imagine readers studying Miranda's story...and spending hours pondering the provocative questions it raises.' Starred review, Publishers Weekly

PRH, PRH

'One of the best children's books I have ever read and books of this sort do not drop out of the sky every day. They don't even drop out of the sky every year.' School Library Journal

PRH, PRH

'A delight to see how slyly and elegantly Stead wove her strands of plot, developed character, and steadily built her world into a remarkable finale. The chapters are very short with enigmatic final paragraphs that absolutely demand you keep going. What is this all about? my students wondered. Urgently they begged me to read more. And more. And more.' Monica Edinger, Educating Alice
