When You Reach Me- Rebecca Stead
Okay, here’s my first negative review. I was bored by the glacial pace of this year’s Newbery winner. 100 pages in and I would have stopped reading, but I’m asked often for award winner J and YA titles, so I toughed it out. What a big waste of time. A gentle New York in the 70’s time travel story that would be forgotten if it was written in the 70’s and now it’s just as boring. Nothing new plot -weak characterization. No no no.
