Half a Sister

It is especially helpful for children dealing with the shock of a long-held family secret or the introduction of a biological sibling they never knew existed. The story follows Hannah, an tech-savvy girl who discovers she has a half-sister through her father's past. The narrative explores deep themes of trust, identity, and the digital world's role in modern relationships. It is a realistic and grounded look at how a young person processes betrayal and ultimately finds a new definition of family.
