Review: The Decoding of Lana Morris is a great book about a girl named Lana, learning life lessons and growing up. She lives in a foster home that is full of kids with mental problems, a cruel foster mother, and an alluring foster father. When she first gets there, she begs her caseworker to send her anywhere else. Finally, she realizes that's not going to happen and she must deal with what life has given her.

As she stays longer in the foster home, she bonds with her fellow foster children and realizes they need her and she needs them. Life gets complicated and Lana must use her wishes wisely, after all, what she wishes for will determine the fate of many people.
Bottom Line: This book keeps you interested and you feel as though you have to keep reading to see what happens to Lana and the rest of the foster children. By then end of the book I felt like I knew Lana and all of the foster children and I loved their unique traits.The ending leaves you satisfied and it is an overall good book.
