The Battle for Wondla

By: Tony DiTerlizzi

When Eva Nine uncovers the plans to destroy the homes of her alien friends, she flees New
Attica to warn them.  Eva's life is constantly in danger, and she continually has to decide who to trust.  Eva Nine also learns that there are many perceptions and opinions on what is the best or right thing to do.  Will she be able to save her alien friends and human friends?

Mrs. Senechal says:
This book is the conclusion to the trilogy.  The author continues to introduce new creatures and write detailed descriptions to help the reader picture this new world.  There are also unexpected twists and turns to the story.  I like all the lessons Eva Nine learns and how she learns to share them with others.

A Hero for Wondla

By: Tony DiTerlizzi

Eva Nine can hardly believe she has been rescued - and that other humans still exist!  The
boy who found her is taking her back to a human settlement, and it feels like a dream come true.  But, when Eva Nine reaches New Attica, she quickly realizes that the humans have no idea what life is like beyond their small city.  Even worse, the leader of New Attica watches and controls everyone!  Even when Eva meets her older sister, Eva Eight, things are not as she hoped.

Mrs. Senechal says:
This book follows "The Search for Wondla".  It was really interesting following Eva Nine from the alien landscape back to what should have felt more like home to her amongst the humans.  The author does an amazing job of describing settings, new creatures, and high-powered technology.  If you like science fiction and books that imagine life in the future, you will continue to enjoy this series.

The Search for WondLa

By: Tony DiTerlizzi


Eva Nine has grown up with her robot mother in an underground Sanctuary.  All of her experience and knowledge of the outside world has been taught to her through holograms and computer technology.  Eva longs to meet other humans, and when their Sanctuary is attacked, Eva is forced into the real world.  Quickly, Eva realizes that the world is very different then what her computerized training had taught her.  Eva must rely on new friends who know can guide her through the dangers of her environment.  Eva also hopes that she is not the last human on this planet.


Mrs. Senechal says:
The concept of this story is very intriguing!  DiTerlizzi describes this new scenery and technology with detailed and unique vocabulary.  I enjoyed reading about the new creatures Eva encounters throughout the story.  Not only is this an excellent, adventurous story, it has an awesome website, too www.wondla.com!  Readers who have a great imagination will really like this book!
