When You Reach Me Vs. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon has a happy ending because the main characters both get what they need, like Minli, gets home and her town becomes beautiful. Her friend, the dragon, is reunited with the Jade Dragon, his mother. I liked the ending.

I think When the Mountain Meets the Moon is a better book than When You Reach Me. I am almost done with When You Reach Me. When You Reach Me ties in to the book A Wrinkle in Time. Both books are about a girl, who has a friend who is a boy, much like A Wrinkle in Time. Both books are involved with the supernatural. If you liked A Wrinkle in Time, you'll like this book, too, even though it has a bad cover.

When You Reach Me I'd rank about four. For Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, even though this is an honor book, not an award winner, I think I'd rank it below Young Fu. Young Fu rocked. This was still a great book, though.

Well, both When the Mountain Meets the Moon and When you Reach Me are good books. I think When the Mountain Meets the Moon has a broader audience. This is a book that anyone can enjoy. When You Reach Me is more of a mystery/sci fi story, and it it will not appeal to younger children. Like, my four year old sister and I both liked Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, and I don't think she'd like When You Reach Me. They are both great books.
