Rob & Sara.Com

Reach for this book when your teenager feels like an outsider or struggles to express their true self in the high-pressure social environment of high school. It is an ideal choice for the child who finds digital communication a safer space for vulnerability than face-to-face interaction. The story follows Rob and Sara, two teens from very different backgrounds who strike up an honest, soul-searching relationship through emails and instant messaging. Through their digital correspondence, the book explores themes of loneliness, family expectations, and the courage it takes to be authentic. While it touches on the complexities of teenage romance, its primary value lies in normalizing the experience of feeling 'different' and showing how genuine connection can be found in unexpected places. It is a grounded, realistic look at the transition from childhood to young adulthood for ages 12 to 16.
