In it, Bow introduced readers to Greta Stuart, Duchess of Halifax, Crown Princess of the Pan Polar Confederacy, and hostage to peace. Her nation—in a world four centuries in the future—is on the brink of war. If it tips over, Greta’s life will be forfeit. Today Bow shares her much buzzed-about companion novel, The Swan Riders, in which Greta has become AI. “It’s a meditation on what it means to be human, and what it doesn’t mean to be human,” says Bow. Big ideas and a richly imagined world will get kids thinking this afternoon.
Suitable for Grades 9 and Up.
