Small personal things that seem to know what she’s thinking. today: Colin’s knapsack.” Miranda doesn’t know who is writing these things or where they are coming from but it is infinitely clear that the notes know things that no one could know.  They say things like “I am coming to save your friend’s life and my own” and “You will want proof. Miranda has started receiving tiny notes with mysterious messages. But strange things are afoot in the midst of all this. Forced to make other friends, Miranda befriends the class yukster and a girl who has also recently broken up with her best friend too. After that, he refuses to hang out with Miranda anymore. While walking home, Miranda’s best friend Sal is punched in the stomach for no good reason. It’s the late 70s and the unthinkable has occurred. And I think I can summarize the plot without giving too much away, though.  I can’t talk about it without potentially destroying the experience for somebody out there. Therein lies the problem with reviewing a book of this sort. Is it realistic or fantastical? Science fiction or religious? So I just won’t talk about the end, or go too far into the premise. This is not something I wish to do for you because the true pleasure of this book lies, at least partly, in figuring out what the heck it is. It’s sort of a lot of things and if I go too deeply into what those things are, I’m going to give away elements of the plot. They don’t even drop out of the sky every year.
