In the third novel of Lisa McMann's Dream Catcher series Janie, now armed with knowledge, has to make some decisions concerning her future. She thinks she has it all figured out until she meets her dying father in the hospital. The problem is that he's in a coma and can't actually tell her anything.

In Gone McMann refocuses on Janie, her abilities and her dilemma instead of having Cabel and Janie solve another mystery. I, for one, appreciated that decision. In reading the other reviews I found that a lot of people felt like Janie was too whiny or self-centered, but, dream catcher or not she's just a girl, and it felt pretty real to me. I think Janie would have had to face this crisis at some point, and I'm glad that McMann gave the crisis its own story.
