Tony DiTerlizzi's The Search for WondLa
It's sometime in the future, and a little human girl being raised by a robot longs to meet other humans. When an intruder forces her to flee her underground sanctuary, she sets off on a quest accompanied by a couple of bizarre alien types (one is a giant waterbear!), trying to evade capture while figuring out where the people are. At nearly 500 pages, things do drag a little (even with the enchanting illustrations), but I liked the ending reveal quite a bit and look forward to the sequel. Oh, and apparently if you hold certain illustrations up to a webcam, interesting things happen, but I didn't care enough to try it. A-.
