Mona is poised to delete Earth. Can human's capacity for love persuade her otherwise? Mo(ther) Na(ture) is a YA GameLit coming-of-age story that explores sisterly bonds and the human capacity for love. Fans of Sophie Kinsella and Rainbow Rowell will love this heartwarming story about sisterhood, love, and what it means to be human.
When two sisters quarrel, humanity is on the brink of extinction. Mona, the logical scientist and creator of Earth, has been caught trying to destroy humankind yet again. Her sister Penny, the passionate and impulsive creator behind humans, challenges her to live in a human's shoes and experience their emotions before she carries out her plans to delete the human race forever.
For eons, mankind has exploited the Earth, heedless of the consequences of their actions. Fueled by a desperate need to safeguard her creation, and with a bit of glitter, Mona uploads into her first human meat sack - a teenage girl - and quickly learns what it's like to feel loathing, desire, and friendship. But as she delves deeper into human history and their cruelty towards each other and Earth, she decides they're not worth saving. Overwhelmed by emotions, Mona is torn between wiping the entirety of Earth with the push of a button and fulfilling her bargain with Penny.
Her mission is to understand the profound depth of human emotions and discover whether humanity possesses the capacity to heal the wounds they have inflicted upon the world. Can she learn to be human, even with all their faults?
