When you reach me

When you reach me, by Rebecca Stead (Newbery Medal 2010) was one of those books that, when you are done, you stop and say, "Wait a second..." Your brain overloads, because, if you get it, the chain reaction of understanding of the plot is immediate. If you like a good mystery, this is the book for you. It is in the second person--unusual, I know. It is in the form of a letter, to whom is not revealed until the end. Miranda's mom is running for a 10,000 dollar pyramid. She recently had a problem with a friend of hers, and when she, Colin, and Annamarie, start working at a sandwich shop, she finds mysterious notes, telling her to mention where her house key is, and weird things like that. A second note asks her not to mention it to her mother--something is going on. And not for the last time.
