The Search for WondLa by Tony DiTerlizzi
5.0

I LOVED this book. I found it while browsing in the children's section at the library, and the artwork and description on the inside jacket was what grabbed my attention. And after I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. The characters, the story, and the imagination behind it was so refrshing. It's been a while since I've read a good fairytale/fantasy. Eva (the main character) is the strongest young girl character I've met since Lucy from The Chronicles of Narnia. She's smart and dependable, and even when she gets herself into difficult situations she never gives up hope and does all she can to set things right and rescue the ones she loves. Muthr, the robot who is the only other being Eva knows until she escapes to the surface, reminded me a bit of a C-3PO kind of character. She's a bit annoying at first, but later in the book you find out alot about her, and even though she's never been anywhere outside the Sanctuary, she's willing to help Eva and be there for her. Rovander reminded me of Puddleglum from The Narnia series. He's loyal, a little bit on the stinky side, but after going through so much with Eva he decides to stick with her, and the two becoem fast friends. I could go on and on about this book, but all I'm going to say is READ IT. NOW. GO.
