For my Annotated Bibliography I chose to read When You Reach Me. Miranda, a 6th grader living in New
York City thinks she finally has the city figured out. She knows which places
to go, and which places to stay away from, alongside is her friend Sal who
avoids her after getting punched in the face by a new kid for what Miranda thinks
is no apparent reason. Then suddenly the spare hidden key to her apartment is
stolen and mysterious letters keep showing up under her front door. With a
decision to write back to the letter as asked, she is discovering the person
writing the letters knows her whole life. Will Miranda be too late to find out
what the letters mean and if they will save her friend? I enjoyed reading When You Reach Me because Miranda’s life rapidly turns adventurous
and suspenseful overnight leaving you always wanting to know more and more. I
feel many students may be able to relate to Miranda, for instance having her
best friend drift from her for reason she has yet to find out. Miranda’s life
is in a constant world wind when she desperately tries to figure out who is
writing these anonymous notes to her that tell her things about her life that
have yet to happen. Miranda gets overwhelmed throughout the story and is forced
to search for the deeper meanings behind the crazy events happening.
