The Search for WondLa
by Tony DiTerlizzi
3.5 stars.
Eva Nine, the only human living in an underground sanctuary, is forced to go to the surface after an attack on her home.
10-13 year olds who are fans of science fiction & fantasy will enjoy this book but I feel that for an adult reader there are too many classic tropes for it to be quite as gripping.
DiTerlizzi is a good writer and an amazing illustrator (and it's cool that we get to see exactly what the author believes his creations to look like) but the story isn't strong enough to appeal to anyone much older than Eva Nine.
There is plenty of action at the start and finish, but it does drag a bit in the middle. The hefty size of the book might deter some you readers but the print is relatively large, the chapters very short and it has several illustrations.
