About this audiobook

Now an animated series coming to Apple TV+ on June 28th!

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Tony DiTerlizzi’s New York Times bestselling, richly illustrated The Search for Wondla series with this first installment of the modern classic space-age adventure featuring an all-new look.


When a marauder destroys the underground sanctuary that Eva Nine was raised in by the robot Muthr, the twelve-year-old girl is forced to flee aboveground. Eva Nine is searching for anyone else like her: She knows that other humans exist because of an item she treasures—a scrap of cardboard on which is depicted a young girl, an adult, and a robot, with the strange word, “WondLa.” Can she find where she belongs?

Probably my alltime favorite series from my childhood (and honestly after rereading, still is). It tickles all my favorite genres and tropes; clash of technology and nature, rebuilding the world after society collapses (not so much dystopia but the aftermath of dystopia), found family, and the aliens, mutants, and monsters strain sci-fi. And for the record, it is SO much better than the animated adaptation. The world is so much more vibrant and the relationships between characters are much more natural, and loving. The illustrations in the physical copy absolutely bring the whole thing to life and the original designs are so much stronger than the show's adaptation. 100% recommend
