In How to Be Found, teenagers dance on the precipitous line between childhood and adulthood, shocked by their conflicting desires for freedom and love.

How to Be Found stands out for its memorable characters, its focus on an unbreakable relationship between two girls, well-portrayed disability representation, and sly nods to detective tropes like Nancy Drew. Fast-paced and impossible to put down. -Jes Battis, author of The Winter Knight
