DREAM, ANNIE, DREAM

DREAM, ANNIE, DREAM by Waka T. Brown

For those of you that know my Annie, she loves basketball and dramatic arts. When I came across the book, Dream, Annie, Dream whose protagonist has the same loves, I couldn't pass it up.

Annie is entering seventh grade. This opens a whole new world of opportunities such as basketball teams, plays, and crushes. At the same time it brings a whole lot of challenges. Who could have guessed that one of the greatest challenges that Annie would face would be her Japanese American heritage? Then she has an opportunity to write her own play, a spin-off of her all time favorite book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Only her version is going to be a middle school take of the classic. Where else does a kid have so many obstacles to overcome?

HEADS UP- There is some language in this book including using the Lord's name in vain.
