Michie and Trissa grew up like sisters in a ramshackle duplex owned by their single moms. But now that they’re sixteen, the differences in identity and experience have caused a rift. Michie’s an introvert obsessed with a book called A Girl’s Guide to Murder. Shiny, extroverted Trissa, on the other hand, dances at the hottest nightclub in town.
One night, Michie wakes up one night to find Trissa missing, having left only a cryptic note. The cops write her off as a party girl who’s probably already met a foul end, and the mothers fall apart from fear and grief, but Michie refuses to believe it.
Enlisting help from the boy she’s been in love with forever, Anwar, Michie sets off to look for Trissa, knowing she’s the only one who will. The search takes them into the back rooms of Trissa’s luxury nightclub, alleyways, the online sex industry, and rural cottage country.
Against a backdrop of cold authority figures and a serial killer targeting local girls, Michie plunges headlong into danger, determined to find her chosen sister and to bring her home safely.
Reviews:
“Emily Pohl-Weary’s wonderfully entertaining novel teems with the exuberant vitality of two teen girls who—despite obstacles that are sometimes serious and at other times hilarious—insist on defining themselves on their own terms and living freely and with self-confidence.”
—Lawrence Hill, author of BEATRICE AND CROC HARRY and THE BOOK OF NEGROES
“An endearing portrait of the power of friendship and found family, Emily Pohl-Weary’s YA novel, HOW TO BE FOUND, is an engaging mix of mystery and coming-of-age, set in a gritty Toronto neighbourhood. Not to be missed!”
—Uzma Jalaluddin, author of MUCH ADO ABOUT NADA and HANA KHAN CARRIES ON”
