JAKE LUCID DREAMER BOOK REVIEW by Author Tamera Lawrence
The teen years are a time of growth and change. It’s one of
the hardest times for some kids, especially those who are bullied by their
peers. And twelve-year old Jake is on the receiving end. After losing his
precious mother, Jake has withdrawn into himself, struggling with his feelings
and awkward family life. His dad is trying to play both parent roles, while his
younger sister seems to be unaffected by their mother’s loss. Jake finds solace
deep in the night in his animal dream world, where he is an active participant.
He prefers this world where he can be in control but like any healthy child,
dreams must end, and with the rising sun, reality begins. School life is hell.
Awkward and small, Jake is ostracized by his classmates. This he can handle. It’s
the threat of being beaten by the class bully that keeps him on edge. But Jake
is slick, and it takes a cunning mind to stay one step ahead of a flying fist.
JAKE LUCID DREAMER by
David J Naiman is a heartfelt tale bringing one face to face with memories
of their own teen issues while doing so in an entertaining way. Jake is a likable teenage, who one can only admire. The bullying scenes were cringe
worthy with one hoping for a resolution. David does a fantastic job of bringing
this wonderful boy to life. I highly recommend this tale for teens and young
adults.
