From the publisher

Now an animated series streaming on Apple TV+! A girl leaves her underground home for the first time in this first book in the New York Times bestselling, richly illustrated space-age adventure The Search for WondLa middle grade series from cocreator of The Spiderwick Chronicles, Tony DiTerlizzi. 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.” The strange aboveground world seems to be full of horrors, with walking trees, terrifying creatures, and an enterprising taxidermist, but in her travels, Eva finds new alien friends who join her on her quest for a place to belong. Can this new found family help her find what she seeks?
