The Ones We’re Meant to Find is a sci-fi fantasy with mind-blowing twists, ready to burst onto the YA scene, from the critically-acclaimed Descendant of the Crane author, Joan He.

Cee awoke on an abandoned island three years ago. With no idea of how she was marooned, she only has a rickety house, an old android, and a single memory: she has a sister, and Cee needs to find her.

STEM prodigy Kasey wants escape from the science and home she once trusted. The Metropolis-Earth’s last unpolluted place-is meant to be sanctuary for those committed to planetary protection, but people willing to do anything for refuge, even lie, and populate it. Now, she’ll have to decide if she’s ready to use science to help humanity, even though it failed the people who mattered most.

“Nancy Wu narrates with a quiet intensity that suits this climate disaster novel centered around two teen sisters who are desperate to be reunited. Kasey is a science prodigy who lives in an eco-city in the sky. She longs to find her sister, who left and was lost at sea. But Cee has survived for years on a remote island with only a bot for company. Slowly, Cee’s memories of Kasey are returning, and she knows she must venture into the ocean to find her. Wu keeps the sisters distinct and emphasizes their personalities with subtle tonal shifts as she narrates chapters that alternate point of view. Cee’s story is told in a bright first person, and Kasey’s in a more removed and conflicted third person. Listeners will be slowly drawn into their devastating story full of perfectly executed twists.” — AudioFile
