I started When you Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead, without much interest, to be honest. I couldn't remember what it was supposed to be about and the beginning was rather vague. I read the first couple of chapters and then didn't read it again for about 2.5 weeks. But now that I've finished it, I really liked it.
It's a mystery. And dapples in science fiction, which I always enjoy, but it holds a lot of meaning as well. It maybe not be incredibly complicated in its thoughts, but the thoughts were weighty and interesting enough to support the book. Some parts were sort of sad. Not in a really heartbreaking sort of way, but more in a wistful sort of way. Hm. Yes, a good book. Definitely fine for middle schoolers to read.
