Wake by Lisa McMann

My Rating: 4 stars


Janie Hannagan was never a normal kid. Ever since she could remember, she had seen other people’s dreams. It didn’t matter where or when, she was always sucked in, and she couldn’t stop. In the dreams, the participants begged her to help them, and there was no possible way that she can. Janie has witnessed all types of dreams. The embarrassing dream that everyone has had at least once: wearing nothing but your underwear to school or work; and also the bone chilling ones: drowning, or falling from the sky. But now, as she is ignored by her drunken mother, and is trying to get into college, Janie realizes that there is a way to control what happens in hers, and others’ dreams. And with the help of Cabel and old, blind Miss Stubin, Janie finds out how powerful she really is.
