Outside Reading Response: Wake

     So I've just begun reading a book called Wake by Lisa McMann. It's part of a trilogy and it's pretty good. A small summary of what I've grasped from the book is that there is a girl named Janie Hannagan and shes been able to go into people's dreams since she was eight. She doesn't do it on purpose. In fact, if it were up to her, she wouldn't do it at all. She can't control her "gift".

     The thing is, she doesn't even have to be sleep to see someone's dream. She could be trying to do some math homework, but if someone falls asleep, she may go into the dream. Janie has figured out a way to prevent joining the dream. She just tries to get away from the person having the dream and the connection is broken. My guess is she'll be doing this until she figures out some way to control it. But still, this paves the way for an interesting plot.

  1. That sounds like an interesting book. I hope you enjoy it. I think that your prediction seems to be a possible ending to the book. I wonder if by the end of the book, she will figure out how to control this, or will it be at the end of the trilogy?

  2. Noah, that sounds like a pretty fascinating story to read. It seems like my kind of book that would keep me reading for hours! A friend recommended it to me once, but the way she described it sounded kind of odd. Hopefully that Janie character will be able to control the dreams, but I actually hope to read that book and find out someday.

  3. Noah this is a great reading response and it really feels like you know a lot about this story. Also this story seems very interesting and it sounds like a book many people would be interested in to read. Lastly, I like this response a lot because it actually talks about the story instead of just giving your opinion of the story.

  4. Noah, the book sounds great so far. I like how you described your view and important parts of the story in your response. I hope that she figures out how to control her situation. It seems that you are enoying reading the,"Wake". This book is now on my list of books to read.
