Tony DiTerlizzi

Eva Nine was raised by the robot Muthr. But when a marauder destroys the underground sanctuary she called home, twelve-year-old Eva is forced to flee aboveground. Eva Nine is searching for anyone else like her. She knows that other humans exist because of a very special item she treasures ~ a scrap of cardboard on which is depicted a young girl, an adult, and a robot along with the strange word "WondLa". Tony DiTerlizzi honours traditional children's literature in this totally original space age adventure: one that is as complex as an alien planet, but as simple as a child's wish for a place to belong.

"if you get this book you absolutely have to read it so you can see the pictures. I'm sure an audiobook would be fine too, but diterlizzi crafts such a beautiful world as an artist that he then delves into with his words, its half the experience to see the pictures. whenever people ask for a book recommendation, I ALWAYS say this one!!

"This was a childhood favorite of mine and I just recently went and bought the entire series. It's just as amazing as I remember!! The world building and characters really immerse you in this beautiful sci-fi futuristic earth. I will admit that my 5 stars are probably influenced by the major wave of nostalgia I get from reading it but I think it still holds up :)"

"such an underrated series, good for both children and young adults alike. I can only speak for myself, but the reread value is great for these books as well, and the illustrations are beautiful."

"Yes it’s middle grade, yes it’s silly and adorable, and yes I absolutely LOVED it. So sweet and warm and fussy. Easy, fast, and something to get you out of a reading slump. "
