Type: Dystopian science fiction
Eva Nine lives underground with a robot called Muthr and has never stepped foot on the actual ground in all of her 12 years of existence. In her safe house she has discovered a piece of paper saying "WondLa" and has a picture of a robot and a human on it. They are both smiling. Eva doesn't know why there are no other humans like her and decides to find out the meaning of "WondLa" and find others like her. But one day, somebody breaks into her underground home and she is forced to escape. She leaves Muthr behind but later she comes back and gets her. But on the outside, it is nothing like what she has been trained to think. She meets some aliens, Rovender Kitt and an alien who she calls Otto. They and Muthr help her. But she is still in danger, as the mysterious intruder who tried to break into her house is still on her trail. So now she must escape the intruder, find other humans, and find the hidden meaning of "WondLa." This book is very gripping and very exciting and it is just really well-written. If you read it and like it, you should also read A Hero for WondLa, the sequel.
PARENTAL SECTION
Sexual parts: no
Violence: no
Fighting:not really. But kind of
Pregnancy: no
Kissing/romance: no
Stealing: yes. I will not tell you what though because that might spoil the story.
Vandalizing: no.
**NOTE: There are some intense bits because the evil intruder break-inner has a gun-like object called a Boom-rod that blows people up. He DOES use it. And at one point, Eva is trapped (literally) in a very bad situation and that is both intense and disgusting. Hint: it is in a taxidermist's lab. So yes, there is a lot of intensity.
