When You Reach Me: Things that...


Miranda carries around a battered book that she has probably read a hundred times.

  • Do you have books that you like to read over and over?
  • What is the best book you have ever read?
  • Why has the author included Markus in the plot?  Why do you think he punched Sal?
  • We have learned a lot about Miranda’s mother. Would she make a good mother? What little details tell us so much about her?

Do all questions in Microsoft Word and check it with WORD TALK. Use all your COPS skills and include as many openers as you need to make your answers as interesting to read and as descriptive as possible.
