When You Reach Me

     When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is one of the best books I've read in the last couple of years and one of my favorite books and it's sometimes hard for me to find a book that I like a lot.  I read this book last year for English and I loved it.  This book is about a girl that keeps getting messages that someone is going to get hurt and she has to write like a story but she doesn't know where to start.  She finds out that someone is going to get hurt but she doesn't know who or when this is going to happen.  She has to figure out the mystery to save someone and also at the same time her mom is trying to win a game show for 20,000 dollars.

     I love the way the book was written and it was a cool book because it referred to time travel a lot and the end of the story kind of came back to that time travel theme.  Also one of the coolest thing about this book to me was the cover.  It actually freaked me out a little because it made no sense.  But once you start to read the book you understand what the art of the cover is saying as you get further into it.

     One of the things that the cover showed was there was a two dollar bill and underneath a mailbox was a shadow of a person and there was also a shoe.  All of the things that happen throughout the book start to unravel the mystery and also the cover.

     I loved this book and I would read this again if I had the chance.  Once I started to get into the main part of the book I loved it and could not put it down.
