I don’t know how likely it would be for Frenchie to find his dad and for Isaac to reunite with Miig but I was very happy with the ending. Obviously the main problem is not gone but I loved the optimistic and hopeful ending. #sdsuYA

I thought Miig brought up an interesting point while telling Frenchie his story. It’s different for him having being affected directly by having family members who lived these experiences and shared them unlike Isaac. Also the way Miig stopped French from telling #sdsuYA

Miig telling the story of how dreams are weaved into their bone marrow and how it is taken away from suggests that others might not have the same ability. I’m curious to know why this is and what sets them apart. #SdsuYA

I can relate to Darius in the way that I also experience similar feelings when it comes to not knowing how to feel about grandparents that you don’t really know #sdsuYA

Cadden’s Article made me think of how important narration is in YA novels and the responsibility authors have when making these decisions. These responsibilities include considering their audience and how individuals might interpret the text differently. #sdsuYA

Although Xio still has issues to deal with, she finally found a safe space where she can do what she loves and also be heard #sdsuYA
