Quince 15

Violet is no ordinary Latina girl. Most Latina's want to have a quincenera, but Violet doesn't. She loves being her.She doesn't want to follow her abuela's traditions for the quince. When her grandma told her she had to wear a pink, fluffy dress she didn't want it.

She had to think about everything. If she wanted to take over the quince or let her grandma and mom do all the work. Personally I would rather do it myself because of course I would have different taste from an old lady amnd whatever my mom says I do the opposite. The funny thing is Violet thought just that and decided to take matters into her own hands.

She is now the one in charge and before her mom or grandma decides to do something they probably have to check with her first to see if they can go through with it.

WAKE... UP... ALREADY??

The book Wake by Lisa McMann is about a girl named Janie who just has had it tough. She gets picked on just because of her clothes, and to make thing worst she can get into other peoples dreams if they fall asleep in the same room as her. If people knew that she could get into their dreams they would put her in a nut house and that would just make her reputation even more worse than it already is.
In most books about people getting dreams there is always the person that knows what is going and the say that it's your dream so you control it. If one of the rich popular kids in Janie's school was in her position they would get help as soon as possible. The characters in this book are all about ego and reputations.
It's so annoying that this is all they care about. Towards the middle of the book Janie meets Cabel because he knows about what she can do and he basically becomes attached to her because he knows what she is going through because he knows what its like being an OUTSIDER.
