I just finished reading WHEN YOU REACH ME – winner of the 2010 John Newbery Medal and wow! I’m not always the biggest fan of story-within-a-story books, but by weaving bits of A WRINKLE IN TIME into the 1979 setting, Rebecca Stead hints at elements of time-travel without the book slipping fully into science fiction or fantasy. I truly loved this book. And while I didn’t see the ending coming – and I’m usually very good at predicting endings – it didn’t throw me either. It provided a completely satisfying surprise.
