"When You Reach Me" follows 12-year-old Miranda Sinclair in 1970s New York City as she navigates the complexities of friendship and growing up. One day, she begins receiving mysterious notes that predict events in her life, leading her to question time, fate, and the nature of reality. As she grapples with the challenges of adolescence, including the loss of her best friend and the struggles of her single mother, Miranda uncovers a deeper connection to the notes and their sender. Through themes of time travel, love, and loyalty, the story weaves an intricate tale of growth and understanding. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
