Middle Grade Review: Dream On

 

Cassie has a hard time.

1. Her mom's attention is usually on a younger child

2. Cassie has a LOT of siblings

3. Her best friend moved and now they don't see each other as often

4. Another girl in class is trying to come between them

5. She's in between times - learning what is cool and what is babyish

6. She keeps being told that she's so sensitive

7. She wants to win a sweepstakes to make everyone else happy

My Thoughts: Finding your place is hard, especially when you're in that in between stage. My heart went out to poor Cassie. Friendships drama is hard to read, especially with mean girls. But I love how everything turned out. I wonder if this will be turned into a series; I wouldn't mind reading more about Cassie's friendship adventures.
