Wake

Wake by Lisa McMann

I would give this series a 4 out of 5.

First book in the Wake Trilogy

Janie Hanagan is different.  When people fall asleep around her she gets sucked into their dreams. She discovered this special ability when she was only eight years old.  Only a closed door will separate the dreamer's dreams and Janie.

Janie live with her mom, so she works at a nursing home because older people are restless sleepers.  One night on the way home from work she gets sucked into someones nightmare. Randomly she gets sucked into this mystery person's dreams until one day she figures out who they belong to, Cabel.  Cabel helps Janie with her ability. Then Janie hears some rumors which make her no longer trust Cabel... for now.

I really liked this book, but I think most people will either hate it or love it.  The book is set up really weird.  It is almost like a diary.  Lisa McMann created a very cool and interesting twist to a normal romance. Also I haven't read any books or really heard about this strange ability to get sucked into people's dreams, so it was very interesting to read about.  The only think I would want to change about this book would be to make it flow a little better and for it to be a little longer.

This story is for late middle school and up, but high schoolers will enjoy it too.  I would say this is rated PG-13.
