Alice's friends are all returning, too. And she's certain her parents have the best party planned for her. Alice can't wait. If Alice is lucky, everything will be absolutely perfect. Will Alice be lucky?

Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,581
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Good book
Would you listen to Junonia again? Why?
I might. I mostly purchased it for a reading roundtable clollege class. It was a good book with some important lessons for young girls.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Junonia?
When Alice finds her missing spoon and realizes she blamed the little girl for something she did not do. This is a powerful lesson!
What does Stina Nielsen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Selfishness. Learning that its not always about you and in life you dont always get what you want.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not an extreme reaction but it did make me chuckle in a few spots.
Any additional comments?
The ending seemed rushed and a little cliched. Overall the book is a good book and worth the read.

Brings Back Memories
My daughter and I have been going to Sanibel Island for years. We enjoyed listening to Junonia on a road trip one day. My daughter related to the main character since they are about the same age. We have renewed hope in finding a Junonia on our next trip!
