This book is soo good! Filled with amazing colourful illustrations and wonderful prose. The characters are adorable and the interactions with one another brought smiles to my face a few times. Loved it and will begin recommending it to everyone else that I think would enjoy it. I'm definitely going ...
What I liked most about this book, aside from the amazing world-building and gorgeous illustrations, was Eva Nine's characterization. She's portrayed as an 11-to-12-year-old girl (confused; I rememeber reading 12, but the Web site says 11?) and she actually acts like it; she gets scared, was initial...

In searching for a defence, I remember all those books I read several times as a child and then re-read as an adult, only to find new layers for the more experienced reader.Because I'm now ...

Reading the bio on the Author, Tony DiTerlizzi, I found out his inspiration includes Jim Henson which explains so muc...
2.5 starsLengthy. 150 pages or more could have easily been cut out.Eva discovers world after having been kept underground and with only a robot for company all her life. She explores, makes friends, sets up the groundwork for #2. Okay, but again, really long. Creative, imaginative illustrations whic...
Last night's trip I tried to collect things that would make for good read-alouds. We've been on hiatus since A Christmas Carol, but apparently the kids think it is time to resume.
