When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

4.0

I know it is superficial, but the cover of this book kept me from reading it for years. It just looks so bland and the title doesn't help either. I finally listened to this after going through a list of Newbery Award winners and I am glad that I did. Although the ending is predicable, I appreciated how it developed and liked the little twist. I also thought Stead did a good job of showing the evolution of friendship. Kids change and not everyone has friends from birth that stay with them all of their lives.
