When you Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

In 1978, twelve year old Miranda moves freely in her neighborhood but not so easily through this time in her life. Her best friend now prefers his basketball; all of a sudden issues of race and class and acceptance matter in ways they didn't before; and to top it all off she is receiving strange notes which seem to look into the future. This coming of age mystery draws parallels with Miranda's favorite book A Wrinkle in Time. Is it possible that the 1963 Newbery Award winner predicted the 2010 winner?
