Gone

The book “Gone” is made by Lisa McMann.  It is the third book in her “Wake” trilogy. She has written many other books too, like the “Unwanted series”.  The first two books “Wake” and “Fade” (novels) are about a 17 year old girl who has the power to go into people’s dreams.  Well, she gets sucked into them.  If a person falls asleep a certain distance away, Janie automatically gets paralyzed and blinded and gets sucked into the person's dream. The distance increases if a person is having a nightmare.

This book is continuing with Janie’s troubles as well.  But in this book there is a little twist.  A person, a person Janie has never seen or heard of before, flips her life upside down.  Janie tries to help the person but she doesn’t know how to.  She is already very responsible of her alcoholic mom, now she needs to have to be responsible for this other person.  And with her powers, she’ll be going blind.  So now she doesn’t know what to do with her boyfriend.

I like this book because it is like a mystery.  I got this book because of what the back of the book said. It said “ He reaches toward her, his fingers black and bloody, his eyes deranged, unblinking.  Janie is paralyzed.  His cold hands reach around her neck, squeezing tight, tighter, until Janie has no breath left.  She’s unable to move, u able to think.  As his grasp tightens further around Janie’s neck, his face turns sickly alabaster.  He strains harder and begins to shake.

 Janie is dying.

 She has no fight left in her.

 It’s over.”

This gave me chills and I wanted to read it to see what it’s about.
