The Decoding of Lana Morris

THIS WEEK: The Decoding of Lana Morris.

Lana Morris lives in Nebraska with her foster parents and a house full of Snicks (or SNKs, special needs kids). She feels miserable a lot of the time--she has no friends except for the Snicks, her foster mother hates her, and her foster father is always acting strange towards her (okay, maybe that she DOESN'T mind). One day, she buys a sketchpad. Just a normal , regular sketchpad. Yes, it cost two dollars, and yes, Lana had to use her special two-dollar bill that her real father gave her to buy it, but she realizes something.

The sketchbook has powers.

It is powerful.

Very powerful.

I loved THE DECODING OF LANA MORRIS. It was fast and very engaging. The only real problem I had was that at times, the plot seemed a bit off. Overall, I would give this book a four of 5.
