When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
CRAP! I know *exactly* what book this is, have held it in my hand, but I canNOT think of the title now to save my life!!!
*beats head against wall*
It’s not the most memorable name. I remember when I was trying to buy the book, I couldn’t think of what it was called even though I’d heard do much about it.
When You Reach Me?
Yes! I name you Super Bookseller Sleuth.
Woohoo! It’s a great book.
I liked it too.
Aaargh, this one totally stumped me.
