Miranda and Sal are best friends, until one day, Sal gets punched. After that, Sal shuts Miranda out of his life. Then Miranda meets the kid who punched Sal, who turns out to be an extremely intelligent boy. Along with that, Miranda is receiving mysterious letters from a mysterious person. And how did the laughing man go so crazy, and why does he sleep under the mailbox? Where could all this be leading up to?
I really love the way the author mentions a mysterious 'you' throughout the book. Only at the end does the author write who the mysterious 'you' actually is, and when I found out who it was, I was surprised. Some parts in this book are very confusing, particularly the parts about landing in a cabbage patch from 'A Wrinkle In Time'.
SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!
Don't read on if you haven't finished this book.
I love how it isn't at all clear that the laughing man is actually Marcus, the kid who punched Sal, and that 'you' is the laughing man too. I liked the end the most, where the laughing man saves Sal and everything is immediately clear. I really loved this book.
