FIND HER by Ginger Reno is a gift to young readers to gently help them understand a reality of the lives of some contemporary Native people in the U.S. The mother of 12-year old Wren has been missing since Wren was a young child. Finding her mother is the focus of Wren’s life. Wren understands that people going missing is not uncommon in her Cherokee community, losses often not resolved by the police even with evidence of crime. Her father is a respected police chief, himself, who is also grieving. Wren discovers a skill in herself to find things. She’s good at finding neighbors’ lost pets. She gets a “finder feeling” and she’s known as the “Finder of Lost Things”. Reno addresses Wren’s painful, long-lastiing grief for her mother and other very hard issues in the community such as bullying. She achieves this truth while also giving Wren a devoted grandmother and a father who love her. This will support young readers who will see Wren’s loss and also the love that gives her strength as she searches for her mother. She knows herself. “She was wolf clan, a protector.”
