Two sisters, two routes through a damaged world

The story divides its attention between Cee, stranded on an island with an android and the memory of a sister she must find, and Kasey, a science prodigy living in the Metropolis, described as Earth’s last unpolluted place. Their separate situations connect family bonds to questions of environmental refuge, trust in science, and the choices people make when seeking safety. The post-apocalyptic setting gives those concerns a concrete shape: one character searches for someone lost, while the other weighs whether science can still serve humanity after failing those closest to her.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult readers interested in science fiction with a post-apocalyptic setting.
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on sisters and a search for family.
  • Readers interested in environmental protection, science, and difficult choices about refuge.

Book overview

Perfect for fans of Rick Yancey and Marie Lu, 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 a sanctuary for those committed to planetary protection, but it's populated by people willing to do anything for refuge, even lie. 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.
