This review does not have a clever title

By Anna C. 

Do you want to read a book that surprises you, Is powerful, and is luminously hopeful well then you should read this book. This book is basically about a girl named Aislinn O'Neill, and this girl has so many dreams that she filled up an entire book full of them. Some of her dreams are more challenging than others, but she won't give up without a fight. She didn't spend her summer like a typical teenager does. She basically spent it looking after her 4 siblings who she call B ,C ,D and E. While her parents work very hard to put food on the table. Her life is very different than. A regular and normal lifestyle. She isn't aloud to talk to boys, and really not even aloud to leave the house. And she says the worst part is, is her dad's drinking get worse and worse everyday. Oh and did I mention she us so many dreams that sometimes she'll have more than 2 a night, and wake up and not remember any of them! Well she has been studying dreams for quite a while, and she knows that in order to have a dream a person needs to reach down deep into their hearts and believe. Sometimes things get really bad at home. She often wondered if she isn't just a silly girl with hopeless dreams. Then she comes up with the brilliant idea and what begins as a plea for help to make her father stop drinking turns into something amazing. Then people in her community step forward to help make other dreams come true as well.




What I really liked about this book was that it went into great detail and it was about dreaming. Some dreams that I have make me so happy and some of the make me sad. But this book tells you to believe and to reach down into your heart. Somethings that didn't work for me was that all of the children were named A, B, C, D, and E not by their actual names. Another thing is sometimes the story doesn't make sense where they are talking about different dreams at once. The plot was really great in the characters seemed like they were real. The pacing could also get a little slow at times but the dialogue moved at a pretty normal pace.

I think that you should definitely check out the book that I am reeling and read it your self because it is a very powerful book that inspires you to dream big and believe  in yourself. This book could also reflect on your life or maybe someone that you know that has life like hers. You could probably find this book at any local library and if you attend school you could definitely check your school library and if they don't have it then maybe you could suggest to the librarian if they can get it see you can read it. Thank you for reading my review and I hope you enjoy the book.
