Rating: High Five

Who I'd Recommend to: The Unwanteds, Otherworld, and The Land of Stories 

Synopsis (from Amazon): 2-year-old Jake has been suppressing his heartbreak over the loss of his mother for the past four years. But his emotions have a way of haunting his dreams and bubbling to the surface when he least expects it. When Jake learns how to take control in his dreams, he becomes a lucid dreamer, and that’s when the battle really heats up.Using his wits to dodge bullies by day and a nefarious kangaroo hopping ever closer by night, Jake learns about loss, bravery, the power of love, and how you cannot fully heal until you face your greatest fear. This uncompromising novel is a magical yet honest exploration of emotional healing after a devastating loss.

Thoughts: This book was superb. I loved how David J. Naiman created such interesting and complex characters. For example, Nick is a kid who used to be great friends with the main character Jake, but later starts making fun of him and bullying him. I also loved how David J. Naiman created Jakes creative dream world, where you can cloud jump, Orangutans talk, and GPS units turn into people. A final thing that I loved about Jake Lucid Dreamer was its message of don’t let past events spoil your future and stay happy. Overall, I cherished this superb, interesting, creative book.

​NOTE: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own. ​​
