my new children’s graphic novel SCHOOLBOT 9000 is out now with Penguin Kids!
“A timely tale to inspire rumination on the promise and dangers of AI… SCHOOLBOT and HomeBot, with their mechanical bodies and reflective eyes, frequently steal the show”
—KIRKUS
“Darkly amusing… Freethinkers, rebels and techno-skeptics will find a lot to love here.”
—The New York Times
“A hilarious take on the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in everyday life… Abstract concepts such as AI and technological interfaces are grounded by Hepburn's brightly colored art…
A tender and approachable work that emphasizes the importance of human ingenuity and community over mechanical efficiency.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Engaging, and funny… Graphic novel fans will gobble this up and be eager for the next installment. Highly recommended.”
—School Library Journal
