Eva is being trained to go up into the outside world to meet other humans, but there has been no contact from other Sanctuaries, as the underground homes are called, for a long time. Right from the very first pages we suspect things are not going well: lights flicker and malfunction, machinery and furniture is chipped and scratched, and even the wheel Eva's robot mother moves around on is tread-worn. It is a charming tale of a young girl who has never seen another human being and who has been brought up by a kindly robot in an underground home. Tony DiTerlizzi's name will be familiar to many readers as the co-creator of the Spiderwick Chronicles, and it is entirely possible that this new trilogy will become just as popular. Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Books When her underground home is destroyed, she sets out with her robot and two extraordinary creatures to find out if there is anyone else like her on her world. Summary: In part one of this trilogy, we meet twelve-year-old Eva Nine, who has never seen another human being.
