“Wake” by Lisa McMann

Have you ever wished you could know other people’s dreams? Sounds great – except that Janie has absolutely no control over it. She is assaulted by other people’s dreams when she’s sitting on the train, in school, even when she’s driving by someone’s house. She can’t help it, she can’t stop it, and she really wishes she could. She is trying to live a normal life, save up enough money for college, and just get by – until she befriends Cabel. He wants to help her because he truly cares about her. Will she ever stop being sucked into other people’s dreams?

This one was really, really good – I couldn’t put it down. It’s also on the PATHS reading list for summer, and it’s one of this year’s YALSA’s Top Ten Nominations. I gave it a 9, so try to get your hands on a copy today!
