Summary: Sarah is always on the move. Her mom hates the cold, so her family (her mom, dad, and Sarah) are constantly packing up and heading for warmer climates. Sarah has very little time to make friends at the many schools she has attended. One night, Sarah awakens to the sounds of her father persuading his wife to stay with the family. Sarah's mom refuses and heads out the door, much to Sarah's dismay. Almost immediately, things begin to change at home. Sarah's dad becomes almost beast-like, becoming hairy and eating rare meat. He takes Sarah to stay with her grandparents, who she has never met. They live in a dank, dark forest in a crumbling castle, which would be exciting if it wasn't so creepy. Sarah learns the truth about her bloodlines, which hold a curse that will turn her into a beast as soon as she falls in love. Sarah has to figure out a way to keep the change of happening as her world dissolves around her.
Quote: “Sarah had discovered that while she liked to ask questions in the hopes that someone or other could answer them, adults liked to ask questions they already knew the answers to. She wasn't sure why exactly that was, and had finally decided that as people grew older, the more important something was the easier it becomes for them to forget. They had to keep asking as a way to help them remember.”
