Awake and Dreaming
This book was written by award winning Kit Pearson. her insight on a lonely child's feelings are accurate, and her words make the reader curious to continue. It was about a child living in poor conditions with her single mother, and beeing abandoned to live with her aunt. During this time she magically gets transported to a "perfect family"by the spirit of her favorite author into a novel that was about to be written before the author died. Her experience with the family is wonderful, but after she she is taken back to reality, she meets the same family but they do not know her. All of her feelings which had been botteled up came out when her own family (the one in the "dream") did not recognzie her. She soon realized with the help of a spirit she encountered on her way to play at the house of a friend that no family was perfect, but as long as there is love it exceedes perfection.

great review.
This is another book with difficult subject matter.
Have you ever wondered or wanted to be someone else? I know I have. I had a friend in high school who could get up and do presentations without difficulty. I am the one in the back of the room, practically passed out waiting my turn.
What about you? Have you ever admired a quality in someone else?
By the way, the same friend I admired later told me she was always impressed by my extensive vocabulary and she wanted to know how I learned all these great words. P.S. I was a voracious reader which improved my vocabulary.

Let me know your thoughts?
This book was sad and lively. Her wish of a "perfect family" delights me and the readers. I love your vocabulary!
