In Ginger Reno’s compelling middle grade fantasy Find Her (Holiday House, Oct.), a tween girl grapples with the disappearance of her mother in Oklahoma. Set against the backdrop of the shocking story of the hundreds of indigenous people who have been reported murdered or missing in the state, Reno’s novel has already earned a starred review from PW and been named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. PW talked with Reno about getting into the mind frame of her young heroine and how her Cherokee background informed this work. (Sponsored)
