In this debut speculative YA mystery a Black teen with premonition-like powers must solve her
friend's disappearance before she finds herself in the same danger. Sariyah Lee Bryant can
hear what people need-tangible things like a pencil a hair tie a phone charger-an ability
only her family and her best friend Malcolm know the truth about. But when she fulfills a
need for her friend Deja who vanishes shortly after Sariyah is left wondering if her ability
is more curse than gift. This isn't the first time one of her friends has landed on the missing
persons list and she's determined not to let her become yet another forgotten Black girl.
Not trusting the police and media to do enough on their own Sariyah and her friends work
together to figure out what led to Deja's disappearance. When Sariyah's mother loses her job
and her little brother faces complications with his sickle cell disease managing her time
money and emotions seems impossible. Desperate Sariyah decides to hustle her need-sensing
ability for cash-a choice that may not only lead her to Deja but put her in the same danger
Deja found herself in.
