Whether the same accolades will come from children remains to be seen. According to the publisher’s website 2 the book has received sixteen additional awards (as of April 2010), primarily in the categories of recommended or best books of the year, and all-it should be noted-from the adult perspective of what children will or should like. The author-a New York lawyer turned children’s writer-has struck commendation gold with this her second novel. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is the 2010 Newbery Award Winner 1. (Note: It is not the purpose of this review to draw conclusions for the reader but rather to focus on literary elements and topics of critical importance.)
