The Search for WondLa



Author: Tony DiTerlizzi
Ages: 9 and up
Rating: 4/5

About: Eva Nine has grown-up under ground, in a place called the Sanctuary. Her mother is a robot, who is training Eva in survival skills. But the world above ground is full of dangers neither Eva or Muthr can prepare for.

Thoughts: This is a fun new fantasy book. The adventure takes Eva all around a bizarre world, a world that she needs to find her place in. I liked reading about all the different animals on the surface, and the wandering forest was cool. But I would have liked to learn a little more about Rovender, and the colonization of the planet Urth.

The answers Eva gets at the end of the novel are a surprising, though not very satisfying. But it looks like there will be another book to follow this one, and I will definitely read it to find out what happened to Eva's people, and how she'll make her way in the... universe maybe?!
