Wake by Lisa McMann


I have recently started reading this book. So really nothing has happened. So far it just shows how her life is hard because her family lives on welfare and her mom is a alcoholic. Most of the time her mother is passed out on the couch and doesn't even care if Janie came home saftley. Janie also has a secret she has this power to go into other people's dream. She doesn't mean to she actully hates it, I think she wants to dream her own dreams. The only thing I hate about this cook is that every chapter she is a different age. Now she is 16, I think it's probably going to stay at that age. Also Janie had a sleep over with her best friend Carrie and her bully Melanie. She didn't mind but she perfer that Melanie wasn't there. Carrie is Melanie's friend. At the sleepover when it was time to sleep, it took a while for Janie to go. She then ended up in Melanie's dream where she kisses Carrie. Janie was shocked that Melanie dreams about kissing Carrie. Janie also went into Carrie's dream but it was more like a nightmare. They were near some river and this small boy was drowning. Carrie tryed to reach for him but the currents were too strong. The little boy was then eatin by sharks. Carrie screamed. I think it was probably her brother because she was searching for him and he was small. Maybe like 6. Even Janie says that Carrie never talks about her family members and her parents fight alot. Janie is now trying to see what the nightmare was about.
