"Find Meis a thriller that keeps picking up speed. I needed to follow this tough heroine through grim revelations to find out if everything was going to be OK!" Jay Asher, NYT bestselling author of Thirteen Reasons Why

These are the words that Wick Tate finds in Tessa Wayne's diary. And now Tessa hasbeen found … dead. Does someone out there really expect Wick to uncover the truth about her death?
An expert computer hacker, Wick has the skills for the job, but with the threat of her ex-con dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around and new foster parents to keep happy, getting involved with a murder case is the last thing she wants to do. Until her little sister, Lily, is the next target.
Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker-girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare. And now she's going to find this killer, no matter what it takes. Because it just got personal.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Here are some things Wick Tate knows: how to hack into almost any system; that, between her mother's suicide and her abusive drug-dealing father, she's responsible for keeping her sister, Lily, safe; and that no matter how loving their new foster parents seem, she can't trust them or anyone else. Wick isn't even sure she can trust herself what if she's too much like her father? Although Wick and Lily now have nice clothes and a stable living environment, the cop looking for their father keeps coming around, and their father's partner can still force Wick to work for him. Then there are the memories churned up when a childhood friend kills herself, and her diary ends up in Wick's hands. While Wick's fears and suspicions initially seem overwrought, they grow to become entirely reasonable as she's forced to make some very adult decisions. Throw in Wick's burgeoning romance with classmate Griff and a genuinely suspenseful ending, and Bernard's debut is effective as both high-intensity action novel and character study, and ripe for a sequel. Ages 13 up.
