Books for 13 y/o Mackenzie who uses reading to cope with the separation from her family

Mackenzie, 22 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Court Appointed Special Advocates of Monmouth County

Mackenzie has been in and out of foster care for most of her life. She has struggled with adjusting to her ever-changing environment, and often feels caught between what is best for her and her siblings and what her parents want her to do. She is always looking out for her brother and sister, and feels protective over them. She has had her fair share of troubles, but is a true survivor.

Mackenzie would like a Barnes & Noble gift card. Reading helps her stay calm and focuses her imagination on fun things rather than how scary it is to be separated from her family.
