  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;Four mysterious letters change Miranda&#8217;s world forever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;By sixth grade, Miranda and her best friend, Sal, know how to navigate their New York City neighborhood. They know where it&#8217;s safe to go, like the local grocery store, and they know whom to avoid, like the crazy guy on the corner.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But things start to unravel. Sal gets punched by a new kid for what seems like no reason, and he shuts Miranda out of his life. The apartment key that Miranda&#8217;s mom keeps hidden for emergencies is stolen. And then Miranda finds a mysterious note scrawled on a tiny slip of paper: &lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am coming to save your friend&#8217;s life, and my own. &lt;br&gt;I must ask two favors. First, you must write me a letter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;The notes keep coming, and Miranda slowly realizes that whoever is leaving them knows all about her, including things that have not even happened yet. Each message brings her closer to believing that only she can prevent a tragic death. Until the final note makes her think she&#8217;s too late.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[In 1978 New York, sixth-grader Miranda is no strange to science-fiction and mysteries. After all, her favorite book is Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle In Time. But it’s different when the mystery is in her real life. Miranda begins to receive notes, notes that promise to save her friend’s life...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73750361">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A fitting homage to Madeleine L'Engle and <strong>A Wrinkle In Time</strong>. <br/>Miranda and her relationships feel real. Regular growing pains and school life until mysterious notes pop up and Miranda's world is changed forever.<br/>A good book for those kids (and kids in adult bodies) who love to ponder differ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73379383">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[To take something from Shrek (which was on HBO about a hundred times this weekend so it seems to be fresh in my mind) and use it how I see fit… a good book is like an onion.  It’s layered and sometimes makes you cry.

    <body><![CDATA[This was a book that had been hyped so much online, but I really didn't expect to like it as much as I did.  And frankly, I loved this book; it's one of the best I've read recently.  On one level, it's an outstanding middle grade novel about friendships: how they evolve and dissolve as we grow older...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71278040">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There's been so much hype around this book.  And (now) I think, deservedly so.  It's just different enough to defy proper categorization.  Fantasy, time travel, historical (if you count 1979 as historical), realistic.  A bit of a puzzle mystery too.  Think _Westing Game_ starring Meg from _A Wrinkle...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67605807">more...</a>]]></body>
