Hana Hsu and the Ghost Crab Nation
(Book)

In a near future where most adults are connected to the multiweb through neural implants, a twelve-year-old uncovers a corporate plot to genetically manipulate her classmates, and her scientist mother may be involved in the conspiracy.

If Hana Hsu 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, just like her mom and sister. The competition is fierce, and tinkering with bots gets her mixed up with dangerous junkyard rebels. Hana starts to notice that something is not right at Start-Up: some of her friends are getting sick, and her tech never seems to work right. Hana and her friends find themselves spying on one of the most powerful corporations in the country. Will she be able to save her friends-- and herself-- from a conspiracy that threatens everything she knows? -- adapted from jacket
