Un Lun Dun

Un Lun Dun is a original and very entertaining books for young adults and kids alike.  This book, written by China Mieville, is told through the perspective of a small girl living in London.  She has always been though of as weird for her whole life because she has believed in supernatural things.  Supernatural takes on a whole new meaning when she is transported into a whole new world called Un Lun Dun, later she finds that it is actually UnLondon.  While she is here she finds mystical creatures, danger, excitement, and new friends.  She has a great mission at hand to save the world of UnLondon.  Many would wonder why this world would matter to her.  Firstly, she cannot get back to her old world without saving this one.  When she tries to return home, she learns that her parents have completely forgotten about her and will not remember her until she saves UnLondon.  Also she finds out that if she does not save UnLondon in enough time then the chaos that is there will soon trickle into London.  She has no choice but to try to save both worlds but has no idea who to trust along the way for many of her "friends" have many different motives.  I would recommend this book to anyone with an imagination or who have dreamed of traveling to new lands.  I feel that the book can get overly descriptive with names and settings at some points, but if you can over look all of that then you are in for a great read!
