Wake is written in an unusual style, third person present tense (though mainly from Janie's viewpoint), with short sentences, and occasional sentence fragments. Then things get really weird when she finds someone who might be dangerous, and who is dreaming about her. It's been happening since she was eight, and the older she gets, the harder it is to hide. She goes into a seizure-like state, and can't pull herself back out until the dream ends. For reasons that she doesn't understand, whenever Janie is in the presence of someone else who is dreaming, Janie gets sucked into the dream. These things pale in comparison to Janie's real problem. Her dreams of college seem remote, no matter how hard she works. She lives on the wrong side of the tracks, and has to work hard just to feed and clothe herself. The first book, Wake is about 17-year-old Janie, a girl with problems. Last night I sat up until 2:00 am reading Wake and Fade, by Lisa McMann.
