Asleep by Wendy Raven McNair had me quickly turning the pages in an attempt to find out what would happen next. I found something very interesting while reading about Adisa Summers’ journey into finding out more about the mysterious boy, Micah Alexander, who moved into the house across the street. That something is how tired a person can feel when she spends her entire night dreaming. After such an adventure in the subconscious mind, she wakes up exhausted. Adisa spent most of her life having dreamless nights, but as a new school year begins, and Micah’s presence invades her every waking thoughts, she begins to dream.
Adisa’s life gradually begins to change as she interacts more and more with Micah. She learns things about him that causes her to be envious of him, but still, at the same time, he was taking up space in her heart. While Micah’s secrets were being exposed, Adisa was discovering her own secrets. How do Micah’s and Adisa’s secrets connect?
I enjoyed this book from start to finish. One thing I chide myself for doing is reading the back of the book, because a key component of the story is mentioned. I found myself asking when was it going to be revealed. Once it was revealed, the story picked up its pace. I am anxiously awaiting the next two books in this series. Asleep is a very good young adult fiction book that both adults and teens will enjoy.
