Holy cow, this was a wonderful continuation in the WondLa series. I really do think it was even better than the first! This book, on several occasions, made me just sit the book down and smile or tear up for a moment. It's a great book for all ages. And don't get me started on DiTerlizzi and his amazing artwork. Egads, I want that man's talent. He is so good at telling a story, creating engaging characters, making them grow and learn, and then making it all come alive with his wonderful illustrations. Seriously, start this series with the first WondLa book if you haven't already!
