She took the winding back stairs, following the stream of people heading in the same direction, when out of the corner of her eye she saw the barest flicker and knew. It was him. She didn't have to look to know he was among the crowd of students walking the opposite way. She could always sense him, as if her nerves were fine-tuned antennae receptors that picked up whenever he was near. Maybe it was the vampire in her, giving her the ability to tell when another was close by, or maybe it had nothing to do with her otherworldly powers at all. Jack.
His eyes were focused straight ahead, as if he never even saw her, never registered her presence. His sleek blond hair, the same translucent shade as his sister's, was slicked back from his proud forehead; and unlike the other boys around him, dressed in varying degrees of sloppiness, he looked regal in a blazer and tie. He was so handsome it was hard for Schuyler to breathe. But just as at the town house — Schuyler refused to call it home — Jack ignored her.

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
Reading level: Young Adult
Hardcover: 208 pages
Publisher: Wendy Lamb Books
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0385737424
ISBN-13: 978-0385737425
By Olivia Guitron, Courier Correspondent
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a story about a girl named Miranda who is in high school. She is a typical teenage girl who worries about the things that girls worry about, however she is sort of different. She enjoys a particular science-fiction book called A Wrinkle in Time, which, if you haven’t heard or read it, is about a girl who goes through time travel and many other sci-fi adventures.
The book has many different things going on at once; Miranda’s mom being in a game show, Miranda wondering about some homeless guy she sees around, her newly found job at a bakery with an obsessive compulsive type of boss who won’t let her eat the meats for lunch, but will let her eat the lettuce and cheeses, and her relationships with her friends beginning to diminish.

The Board of Education on Tuesday night voted to reopen Barnard-White Middle School in the fall of 2010.
The Barnard-White Possible Uses Task Force recommended opening a school for 6th to 8th grade students, starting with a 6th grade of approximately 150 students in the fall of 2010, with the option of opening a 7th grade or both a 7th and 8th grade in the fall of 2011. A motion to accept the recommendation failed for lack of a second.
