    In the book, “Beastkeeper” by Cat Hellisen, a girl named Sarah thought she had a normal life, but that changed when her mother left the family. After that, her life was everything but normal. Living with her amateur dad, magic rose through the family. Each day, something odd happens. A couple of weeks later, her dad cannot take it no more. He left his daughter to a couple that Sarah haven't met before. This was Sarah's grandparents. Learning about a curse that ran through the family, she found out that it traced back to her. Now, Sarah is trying to find a way to break it and live a strange, but normal life.

     Sarah is the main character of the book. She is rebellious and curious about the forest outside. With characteristics like that, adventures could happen. After her mother left, she felt disappointed and helpless. This happened because she left without telling her why and where is she going. In the book, it said, “You should be in bed. It’s late.” This is a line from page 5 spoken from her mother before she left. No answer for her disappearance. Based on other people, someone leaving can be really heartbreaking and could cause depression. This line leaves many theories on why she left and why she kept it a secret. That is why I chose that as evidence. Sarah treats others with respect and kindness to others who might not have the same qualities as her. This is Sarah, a complicated character.
