# Hana Hsu and the Ghost Crab Nation - Hardcover

by **Sylvia Liu** (Author)

**"A refreshing, imaginative take on a cyberpunk future, filled with wickedly cool technology and unraveling intrigue!" -Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Iron Widow_ and _Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor_**

Perfect for fans of _Dragon Pearl_ by Yoon Ha Lee, this thrilling, cinematic sci-fi novel follows Hana Hsu's mission to save herself--and her friends--from a dangerous plot to control their minds.

Hana Hsu can't wait to be meshed.

If she can beat out half her classmates at Start-Up, a tech school for the city's most talented twelve-year-olds, she'll be meshed to the multiweb through a neural implant like her mom and sister. But the competition is fierce, and when her passion for tinkering with bots gets her mixed up with dangerous junkyard rebels, she knows her future in the program is at risk.

Even scarier, she starts to notice that something's not right at Start-Up--some of her friends are getting sick, and no matter what she does, her tech never seems to work right. With an ominous warning from her grandmother about being meshed, Hana begins to wonder if getting the implant early is really a good idea.

Desperate to figure out what's going on, Hana and her friends find themselves spying on one of the most powerful corporations in the country--and the answers about the mystery at Start-Up could be closer to home than Hana's willing to accept. Will she be able to save her friends--and herself-- from a conspiracy that threatens everything she knows?
