The Battle for WondLa (3) (The Search for WondLa)

The Battle for WondLa is the final piece in a three-book puzzle. When The Search for WondLa first appeared, my entire family was instantly hooked. Delightful, vibrant characters, a stunningly vivid world, and wholly original plot make DiTerlizzi's trilogy a must-read for any lover of fantasy. -actually, I take that back. I believe that anyone- despite age or genre preferences- would fall in love with the WondLa books. The characters are simply so REAL. They have wonderful flaws as well as wonderful strengths. They love. They are betrayed. They fight, they run; they win, they lose. Ultimately, friendship, loyalty and good emerge triumphant, and although I hated having to say goodbye to this universe, I was satisfied. DiTerlizzi manages to wrap up all loose ends, yet leave enough open so that the story never truly ends. You are not left wondering what will happen to the beloved characters, but you find yourself *imagining* what will, which is a drastic difference. (plus Tony DiTerlizzi's illustrations- gorgeous. whimsical. perfect. I often flip through the books simply for the joy of looking at the pictures.)So, if you enjoyed the first books, if you enjoy a good fantasy romp, if you seek adventure, if you long for a tale of sweeping discovery, if you want to rediscover the joy of a good, satisfying fiction, (ultimately- if you breathe) -- read this book, read this entire trilogy.I promise that you will not be disappointed.

We need more than three in this series. My granddaughter was given the first in this series when she was 7, and really didn't plan to like it. But she has loved this series. I read it to her at night and she fought to stay awake! Now she's old enough to read the story on her own, but we have a tradition so I'm still the reader. And she does crafts! She is already hoping there will be a fourth. And fifth. These books are exciting, and at the same time show a wide range of behaviours in an imaginative setting. I've come to consider some of these characters as lovable and lasting as those of C.S. Lewis and many others.

I enjoyed this series very much. I hope they make a fourth book. I love the world that was created and the characters. It makes me want to keep reading every time I pick it up.

I love this book series! Eva Nine is a wonderful heroine and I found her empathy compelling. This is a great book for 10ish and up I'd say. There is serious subject matter of abandonment, death, betrayal and mentions of tourture. I really enjoyed reading it with my daughter and we still reference it frequently. It's very interesting.

Bought it for my 13 year old who read the first two of the trilogy. After he read in no time, he enthusiastically told me that it was awesome. His older sister read it too, and they both think it's one of the best books they have ever read. They both reread it at least a couple of times.

Awesome book. I bought this book for my daughter when she was about eight years old. She loved it so much that she made me read it and I loved it too. This book and the following two in the series are phenomenal. They're full of great imagination, wonderful ideas, and characters you will grow to love.

My daughter was so ecstatic upon seeing this 3rd book, she has been asking me get her a copy but couldn't find one available in the Philippines...so I finally came around to getting from Amazon! I left it in the car and when we picked her up from school screamed to death out of excitement! Was even surprised to see it was signed!!! not sure if it was a printed signature though....I hope they make it into a movie!

This tale took me in from the very beginning. Never did I encounter a story with such a harmony between high tech and nature.Sadly the journey is over and I have to find and adapt to some new adventures with new heroes.

Item as described and arrived fast!

A real modern classic! Love this trilogy!!

My daughter and I have long awaited this book to be released. This is going to be the favourite birthday present as she absolutely loved the other books.Thanks to Prime, it got here in time! (couldn't resist!)

I recommend that you buy it, it's a good read.Illustrations are lovely, story is great. A good third installment.

Really good ending to the series
