Sarah maintains a running list on her phone of books she wants to read, which is already longer than she'll manage this year. A bookish and introspective teen, she's drawn to fantasy and mystery novels and spends her free time lost in stories, even beginning to write her own short stories. After moving through several foster homes, she's learned to be reserved with new people, though her loyalty runs deep once she opens up. Excelling in school, particularly in English and history, Sarah is part of her school's book club—one of the few constants in her life. Despite carrying significant uncertainty for her age, she channels it into her writing and passion for stories, deserving a stable home and genuine connections.
