Aisulu is a Kazakh nomad girl living in Mongolia. She has always been a bit different — she likes girl things well enough and milks the yaks and fetches water as a daughter should, but she also likes math and a fast ride on her horse, Moon Spot, which she tamed herself. But when her brother Selik breaks his leg trying to catch an eagle, and is discovered to have osteosarcoma, everything changes! While her parents rush off to the city with her brother, Aisulu moves in with her aunt and her uncle, a former Burkitshi (eagle hunger). Seeing her attachment to a rescued eaglet, her uncle begins training Aisulu to become an eagle hunter herself, even though she is a girl, and girls do not become eagle hunters. Aisulu is not sure she can do it — but when she finds out that there will be a Festival in town with a prize that could help buy her brother an expensive prosthetic leg, she knows she has to try! The odds are stacked against her, but Aisulu is determined to prove herself and help her family.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C417086</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C417086</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bow, Erin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/417086108</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scorpion Rules]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the future, the UN has brought back an ancient way to keep the peace. The children of world leaders are held hostage-if a war begins, they pay with their lives. Greta is the Crown Princess of the Panpolar Confederacy, a superpower formed of modern-day Canada. She is also a Child of Peace, a hostage held by the de facto ruler of the world, the great Artificial Intelligence, Talis. The hostages are Talis's strategy to keep the peace: if her country enters a war, Greta dies. The system has worked for centuries. Parents don't want to see their children murdered. Greta will be free if she can make it to her eighteenth birthday. Until then she is prepared to die with dignity, if necessary. But everything changes when Elian arrives at the pretecture. He's a hostage from a new American alliance, and he defies the machines that control every part of their lives-and is severely punished for it. Greta is furious that Elian has disrupted their quiet, structured world. But slowly, his rebellion opens her eyes to the brutality of the rules they live under, and to the subtle resistance of her companions. And Greta discovers her own quiet power. Then Elian's country declares war on Greta's and invades the prefecture, taking the hostages hostage. Now the great Talis is furious, and coming himself to mete out punishment. Which surely means that Greta and Elian will be killed...unless Greta can think of a way to save them.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C434184</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C434184</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bow, Erin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/434184108</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Scorpion Rules]]></title><description><![CDATA[The teenage princess of a future-world Canadian superpower, where royal children are held hostage to keep their countries from waging war, falls in love with an American prince who rebels against the brutal rules governing their existences.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C503075</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C503075</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bow, Erin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/503075108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Swan Riders]]></title><description><![CDATA[When Princess Greta Stuart escapes her fate as the first casualty in an inevitable war by becoming an AI meant to rule alongside Talis, the current AI ruler, she and Talis must travel across post-apocalyptic Saskatchewan under the protection of the Swan Riders.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C514845</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C514845</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bow, Erin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/514845108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item></channel></rss>
