I told you I’d report back if yesterday’s book was worthy. It was.
“When You Reach Me” by Rebecca Stead. I don’t want to tell you what this is about, because I don’t know how without being spoilery, and I really don’t want to give anyone wrong ideas. But it’s AWESOME. I ate it up in a couple of hours. Great summer read for any kid, I think, but there is hard stuff there. Some anger. Some violence. Some (slight) skewed morality (but it’s very tame). I’d let my 9 read it, for sure. But maybe more on my 12’s level, emotionally.
Try it! Try it! And you may. Try it, and you may, I say.

Yay! Another awesome book for my tbr list! Thanks! =)
I trust you implicitly and shall add it to my To Be Read list immediately.
oooooh, I love that you stole away outside on a blanket with a book and loved it. And then shared it here. So glad you got that FUN and peaceful time.
I’m writing down the title and author. WOOT. (yes, I just said WOOT-it keeps me young) 🙂
I love getting a good recommendation. Glad you enjoyed it!
