The time travel stuff was kind of weird but also interesting. I like how this book really deals with friendships and how they evolve and change and how that is okay and normal.

I really wanted to find this book amazing. I just didn't. It was a good book, it just food not have that something special. The storyline was very good and I liked the way that it was written as Mira thought and figured it out. In that way I thought it was really good, I guess I was just looking for more. However it is the second book that made me want to reread a Wrinkle in Time...maybe that is a sign...I will admit later down the road I might reread this to see if my opinion changes. ...more

I will have to read A Wrinkle in Time and When You Reach Me again to see if I think it's a 5. I was really surprised that I liked this book as much as I did. The hype distracted me and I had some negative expectations. ...more

Anyhoo, I was fairly hooked from the beginning with such mysterious and intriguing characters, but after about halfway through I just couldn't put it down! I would have absolutely loved this book when I was a tee

Wonderful! A very quick read, but I'm not sure if that is because it is a book for middle schoolers, or because it is so hard to put down! Either way, I found it well written, engrossing, and just terrific. A must even if you aren't a big fan of YA books.
Heather - I think you might like this one! And the chapters are short so you could read one, paint, read one ...

Everything made sense in the end! The young characters were real, feeling people with realistic relationships. And the things that really matter - friendship, family - were front and center the whole way.
