When You Reach Me

Finished this book with my class yesterday and they loved it!!!!

My students awarded this book ***** 5 stars!!! Most are anxious to read A Winkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time: Madeline L'Engle

So I finally finished this book and I have to say I really enjoyed it. There is a connection to When You Reach Me. I can see the connection with Miranda and Meg, two girls about 12 with no father and this great mystery to solve. I am really not one to read sci fi books about space and time, but this book has a great storyline!! Even though it was written in the 70's it is clearly a classic. I hope I have tilme to read this to my class before the year ends.

When You Reach Me: 2010 winner

When You Reach Me: by Rebecca Stead

Just finished this book recently and am now reading it to my 5th graders and they love it. I really liked it I couldn't put it down. My class is having a fun time trying to.figure out who "you" is in the story. This book is an brilliant mix of realistic fiction, mystery and sci fi. Rebecca Stead talks on her website about her favorite author as a kid being, Madeleine L'Engle . So naturally the book A Wrinkle In Time (Newbery winner) has a connection. This is actually,the book I am reading now and should finish tonight. I.definitely recommend this book.
