About this ebook

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Tony DiTerlizzi’s New York Times bestselling, richly illustrated The Search for Wondla series with this first installment of the modern classic space-age adventure featuring an all-new look.

When a marauder destroys the underground sanctuary that Eva Nine was raised in by the robot Muthr, the twelve-year-old girl is forced to flee aboveground. Eva Nine is searching for anyone else like her: She knows that other humans exist because of an item she treasures—a scrap of cardboard on which is depicted a young girl, an adult, and a robot, with the strange word, “WondLa.” Can she find where she belongs?

Ratings and reviews

I really felt like I was in Eva Nine's world. I couldn't stop reading this book, I just had to know how it ended. And when I got to the end, I wanted to read it again, best novel ever!🤩

Wow, This guy has an imagination, That's for sure I love the start, what better way to get people hooked then saying that the main character is dying in the first sentence. Although when she came out of hollow it was a little confusing. I'm glad, I have a good way of understanding things, or I might have missed other stuff. It definettly confused my sister, but that's not hard to do, when we lisson to books together, she always makes my pause so she can ask me all her questions and make me answer them instead of trying to figure it out herself. I like Muthr and Rovinder and Auto. I like the adventure of the book. Muthr should not have died, She should been fix able. She should have told Eva how to fix her and then come back. Why did she save Eva anyway? I'm sure that was not in her programing. I like the ending. Nice way to tell Eva there are more humans, even if it was a cliff hanger. What happens next?

I loved these books, creative, and imaginative. Wonderully written, and entirely captivating. Quick read for sure, but it's an incredible adventure all the way through.
