Synopsis

Summary

Five years, three months, and twelve days—that’s how long Wren’s mother has been missing. She’s one of over five hundred Native Americans missing in Oklahoma alone. Wren refuses to give up her search, and an opportunity to find lost pets seems like a real way to hone her detective skills. But everything changes when one of the missing pets is found badly hurt—on purpose. With help from an unlikely friend, Wren vows to unmask the abuser. If she can do this, maybe she can do the same for her mother’s case.

Reviews

Publishers Weekly: "Via crisp prose, Reno meshes plot threads involving abandoned shelter pets and a mystery surrounding a locator on Wren's grandmother's keys, which emphasize the futility Wren feels in trying to find someone who seems unreachable."

Kirkus: "A dramatic and captivating call for attention."

School Library Journal: "Author and narrator solidly inspire greater awareness and action to safeguard and save Indigenous women and girls."
