Product Description
Rebecca Stead is an American author who writes books for children and young adults. She won the 2010 Newbery Medal, recognizing the year's most distinguished contribution to American children's literature, for her second novel When You Reach Me.
"When You Reach Me" (Sixth grader Miranda's life is an ordinary round of family and school. But when she starts receiving anonymous notes that seem to foretell the future, it's clear that all is not as it seems. The story's revelations are startling and satisfying but quietly made. Their reverberations give plenty of impetus for readers to go back and catch what was missed)
"Liar and Spy" (Seventh-grader Georges adjusts to moving from a house to an apartment, his father's efforts to start a new business, his mother's extra shifts as a nurse, being picked on at school, and Safer, a boy who wants his help spying on another resident of their building.)
"First Light" (Peter is thrilled to join his parents on an expedition to Greenland, but he struggles to understand a series of visions that both frightens and entices him. Suspected of witchcraft, Theas people have retreated to a secret world deep inside the Arctic ice. Their meeting reveals secrets of both their pasts and changes their future.)
All together a great gift set!
