Publisher Description
Eva Nine has finally found what she has always been looking for; other human beings. Having been rescued by Hailey, Eva couldn't be happier, and now Hailey is taking Eva and her friends to the human colony New Attica, where humans of all shapes and sizes live in apparent peace and harmony.
But all is not as idyllic as it seems in New Attica, and soon Eva and her friends realize that something very bad is going on ~ and if they don't find a way to stop it, it could mean the end of everything and everyone on Orbona.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The sequel to DiTerlizzi's The Search for WondLa finds 12-year-old Eva Nine and her alien companion Rovender Kitt in the human city of New Attica. At first, this seems like the culmination of Eva's quest: raised by a robot in an underground sanctuary, she had been searching for humans like herself. But in New Attica, Eva begins to notice that her human peers have ulterior motives and hidden motivations. Narrator Teri Hatcher's performance of the book's dialogue is exceptional: she breathes life into each of the characters, differentiating them with distinct voices and vocal mannerisms. However, when she reads expository or descriptive passages, her voice becomes stilted. And this contrast will likely prove jarring to listeners especially ones immersed in the story by the narrator's fine rendering of the characters. Ages 10 up. A Simon & Schuster hardcover.
Customer Reviews
Unputdownable :)
In the past week I have read paperback Search for WondLa and the downloaded Hero for WondLa. A truly imaginative tale of struggle for survival and friendship.
The image of what our future may hold through over consumption and a dying planet is a scary thought but the sheer determination of a brave yet innocent child, wins the day every time.
Glad there's more to come!
