When You Reach Me Audiobook

" Library ebook. Had a hard time getting into it. But pushed forward. It was okay. "

" This is one of the best books I've read all year. Great plotting; wonderful, sympathic characters I felt like I knew and cared about. There is a mystery - or rather mysterious things happen - things that are revealed at the end which render this quite a unique story - they actually elevate the material. It is no wonder to me that this won the Newberry Medal. "

" YR and awesome. "

" 4.5 stars. This is a book I think I enjoyed more than the kids. I read A Wrinkle in Time to them several months ago to help prep for this book as I knew that it dealt pretty directly with that book. I am glad I did as I think everyone understood and enjoyed it more because of that. Very worthy Newbery winner IMO. "

" This is probably one of my favorite books of all time. Gonna be honest, the plot kind of blew my mind. It's funny, sad, awe-inspiring, joyful and entertaining all at once. Stead's style of writing is very real and relatable. This book really struck me deeply and made me think about the concept of time and pre-destination and free will and all that jazz. I LOVE THIS BOOK "

" I have never been happier with a Newbery pick than this one. Rebecca Stead has come close to writing the perfect novel: every word is well - selected and every element of the story ties in. I loved everything about this book and look forward to the fifth and sixth readings of it. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I was reading it to see if my students would enjoy it/it would be appropriate for their reading level/etc. (which was mainly an excuse for me to read it, since I'd been eying it in a scholastic book order). The intriguing mystery that starts at the beginning is an undercurrent throughout the entire story which really kept me reading. The ending I never saw coming, which was refreshing for me since I haven't read many books geared for middle schoolers that aren't relatively predictable. If you're looking for a quick read - I'd definitely grab this book. "

" One of the best young adult fiction books I've ever read. She draws you into the story and creates the emotions so well. Amazing! "

" A clever, fun, and mysterious story. I really liked that the main character learned that being kind pays off. "

" A nice mystery. "

" Very interesting book. Many references to Wrinkle in Time. Must reread it!! "

" Probably deserved 3.5 stars. I liked it, but wasn't sure what to think at several points. Still worth reading, especially for Madeline L'Engle fans! "

" A little slow at first, but it was a good, quick little read. "

" Great time travel story! I love when stories have so many different pieces like a puzzle and they all come together in the end. A short, fun read. "

" Bought three Rebecca Stead novels for my nine year old nephew this Christmas. This is a nicely paced story with a mystery included. Characters are easy to identify with but also face challenges in their lives. I liked this one the best of the three. "

" I think it is one of the best books I've ever read... I can't believe the man under the mailbox is... Sorry, I just can't spoil it "

" Very complex, ingenious plot. Worth a second reading. "

" So smart. I want to start reading it again. Right. Now. "

" Love, love, love this book! Best to read Madeleine L'engle's A Wrinkle in Time first though. "

" Awwwwwwwww! My little heart!! Very happy. A book you'll love no matter your age. "

" This book absolutley changed me. I normally am not appealed to most books, and get bored, but this one, I just couldn't put down. FIVE STARS "

" I heard this was a great book, and it is! A great elementary or middle school book. "

" Re-read this book today and LOVED it! It really is incredible! "

" This book is sci-fi/realistic fiction. It is about a girl named Miranda who begins receiving strange notes. It says someone is going to save her friend's life. It is a bit like A Wrinkle in Time. I loved it and if you like books about time travel, or you liked A Wrinkle in Time, you will like this. "

" It was OK, but it didn't wow me. Probably wouldn't read it again. "

" A great read. Full of mystery and suspense and time travel. Won the Newbery award in 2010. Great for kids and adults. "

" A Newbery Medal winner...looking at catching up on those young adult fiction stand-outs. If you enjoyed a Wrinkle in Time, you will appreciate her story of young teens and their friendships and time travel. "

" I read this after my supervisor mentioned it might be added to our curriculum. It's a sweet book with a good twist, but more suited for 6th grade readers, not 8th grade. "

" Love this book sooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!! I was soo sad when it ended!!! "

" I liked this book alot. I had no idea what was going on. It kept me guessing and had a great twist at the end. "

" it was a good book interesting and one of the best books but it doesn't beat buterfly by jodi bullock "

" Read it for the kids school. Really pretty good, still think about it from time to time. "

" Enjoyable read that deals with time travel in a way that holds up pretty well, and that I could understand. "

" Loved this book! Adding to my shelves for my third grade students who are ready for a challenge! "

" I'm going to have to read more books in this genre, because I was puzzled throughout. Miranda keeps getting clues for something to happen in the future and bring light to happenings of the past. She was quite likeable, maybe more so to me, because she was puzzled, too.:) "

" This book does not disappoint, even on multiple readings. I have read this 3 times and find new nuances in the story each time. May be a bit easier to understand if you have read A Wrinkle in Time recently. "

" I am usually a fan of Newbery winners and honor books. I didn't find this one quite so stellar as usual. "

" i loved this book again an addiciting book i love rebbeca steads books! "
