Books of Wonder
is truly thrilled to announce that on Wednesday,
September 22, TONY
DITERLIZZI will
be here to launch his fantastic, new book,
The Search for WondLa! This
is the first book in an incredible trilogy,
about a 12-year-old girl named Eva Nine, who has
never met another person. Raised in a high-tech,
underground sanctuary by a Multi-Utility Task
Help Robot (Muthr), Eva has been trained to
survive the world outside of sanctuary, though
she has never seen it for herself. When an
invader attacks the Sanctuary, forcing Eva to
flee to the surface, she discovers the outside
world is nothing like she was told it was. Is
she on Earth? Or is this some new planet? Eva
finds herself on a thrilling quest to find if
there are any other humans left and, if not,
what happened to her people? Written and
lavishly illustrated in two-colors by Caldecott
Honor Book recipient
TONY DITERLIZZI,
who is best known as the co-author and
illustrator of the NY Times best-selling
Spiderwick Chronicles, this is a
rollicking adventure, mystery, and coming-of-age
story you and your young readers will never
forget! In support of the Starlight
Children's Foundation, who will receive a
portion of the night's sales, Academy
Award-nominated actress, Uma Thurman, will be on
hand to introduce
TONY DITERLIZZI
at 6pm.
