Story excerpt: Lena paused at the edge of the playground on her first day. The swings creaked and children zipped past in bright jackets, but she stayed near the gate, fingers curled tight around her backpack straps. Her stomach fluttered like a trapped moth. The brick school rose behind the slide, tall and unfamiliar. Lena took a small breath and told herself to count to three before moving.
