A very gripping story. Sara is a young teenager, whose experiences unusual changes and also finds her long lost family - so much to take in, for sure. Loved the quotes in this book; mostly, it is written in the form of a journal from Sara’s mother, but there were others as well. Wonderful tidbits on how to live better: every teenager ought to know these, I feel. I do feel invested enough to read the rest of the series.
