Reading Level: Young Adult
(4 out of 5)
Wow I have been having a very busy summer and haven't posted in awhile. Rest assured that I have been reading like crazy but nothing has really urged me to make a post about it until now. Lisa McMann's first novel Wake was really good. I read it in about two hours. I really liked the way she wrote it. It is almost like reading a journal but in real time. Her character Janie has an unusual gift. She gets sucked into other people's dreams or nightmares. They range from the naked dreams, the falling dreams, and the really frightening where your blood pressure spikes kind of dreams. Janie is getting tired of it. If she is close to someone sleeping she gets sucked into the dream. If it is a particularly strong dream she has seizure like symptoms. Janie just wants to be normal.
With the help of Cabel and Miss Stubin Janie starts to control her gift and everything starts to look up. You will have to read it to find out the rest. The sequel to this book is called Fade and will be out next year.
