1. So far into this book, it is about the main character named Miranda who is receiving weird letters from a stranger and she doesn't know who it is. The notes asked her to do two favors to the stranger that is sending these notes to her. They are to write back a letter, and to not tell anyone about this. Miranda is getting scared, because she is receiving the letters in different places every time, and one of them predicts that the stranger will approach Miranda person to person, and that is why the title is made like that. Miranda's mom is going to a show on TV where you get the chance to win $20,000, and Miranda is always preparing her mom for it every night.

2. So far into this book, I am enjoying it. I don't really read mystery books, so this is a change for me and I am enjoying it. I am curious to find out what Miranda is going to do about this, and I also want to find out why this stranger is writing her these things, and when he or she is going to approach her. Also, I want to find out what Miranda's mom is going to end up doing in the TV show, and I want to know if she is going to win, or if she is going to lose. Also, I curious to find out where Miranda is going to meet the stranger, because I think that it is going to happen unexpectedly, and Miranda is going to be very surprised when she meets him or her.

3. The theme I noticed a lot in this book is friendship. There are two types of friendship in this book. The first is between Miranda and her best friend Sal. They have known each other for a long time, and they have been fighting lately. The other type of friendship is a distant one. It is between Miranda and the stranger that is writing her all of these notes. Lastly, another friendship that I noticed is between Miranda's mom and her boyfriend. They are close to each other, and they love each other.

4. My favorite character is Miranda. She is my favorite character for many reasons. The first is that she is nice to everyone, and she doesn't act mean to them. Second, Miranda is getting freaked out because she is receiving notes from someone that she doesn't know, and she is not telling anyone about it. I think that this is a brave thing to do, because you never know if the stranger if stalking Miranda, and following her to her house. Lastly, she is my favorite character because she is helping everyone. For example, she is helping her mom win the show and win a lot of money.

5. My least favorite character right now is the stranger that is writing Miranda all of these notes. He or she is my least favorite character because they are approaching Miranda in a strange way, and Miranda is getting scared from them. Also, he or she is my least favorite character because they are telling Miranda that they are going to meet her but she doesn't know where and when. Lastly, Miranda doesn't know what the stranger is going to do to her, so I think that the stranger should write in the notes that it is a safe thing that they are doing, because since it is important, the stranger should approach this in a different way.

6. Next in the book, I think that Miranda is going to meet the stranger, but I think that she will meet him or her unexpectedly. Miranda will keep on receiving all of these letters and each one will approach her closer and closer to the stranger until she meets him or her. Also, I think that Miranda's mom will go on the show and win the whole thing, but I think that it is going to happen unexpectedly, and I think that her mom will be very excited. This is what I think is going to happen.
