When You Reach Me
Book Summary
All their lives, twelve-year-olds Miranda and Sal have been like two
sides of the same coin: inseparable. Now everything has changed, and
Miranda isn’t sure why. She thinks it has something to do with Sal
getting punched one day. As they were walking home from school
a neighborhood kid simply walked up and hit him. Since, Sal hasn’t been himself. Not
only is he afraid, but he no longer wants to hang out with Miranda and won’t say what
is wrong. Miranda feels lost without her best friend. Even worse, she especially needs
him now, because scary things have been happening. Someone who knows all about
her is leaving cryptic notes that predict danger to someone she cares about. Is this just
a game, or does Miranda truly hold the life of a loved one in her hands?

Building Background and Making Predictions
Miranda’s story about Sal and the mysterious note writer includes
many references to her favorite book, A Wrinkle in Time, a real
novel that won the Newbery Medal in 1963. Read a summary of this
novel below. Then make predictions based on evidence from the
text and/or from your prior knowledge or personal experience.
A Wrinkle in Time is about three children, Meg, Charles,
and Calvin, who have strange encounters with three timeand-space travelers, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Who.

a scientist. They say he is in grave danger and the children
must save him. With the ladies’ help, the children go to the
planet Camazotz. There, Meg and Charles’s father is held
prisoner by an evil force called IT. Together the children must
save him and themselves from falling under IT’s power.
