UN LUN DUN Written and Illustrated by China Miéville
Two best friends. One out of this world adventure.
"A Dark, charming, robust comical adventure played according to new rule . . .Miéville's first young adult novel is a wonderful surprise."
—VOYA
"The storey is exceptional and the action moves along at a quick pace."
—School Library Journal (starred review)
"It hardly seems possible I didn't read this novel and love it at age twelve, it brought back so vividly the long, book-drunk days of my late childhood. Like the best children's fiction, Un Lun Dun seems to have always been there, waiting to be discovered."
—Salon.com
"One of the most imaginative young adult novels of the post-Potter era. . . a tempting, carefully plotted rebellion against the cotton-candy elsewheres offered up by most children’s novels."
—New York Times Book Review
"For style and inventiveness, turn to Un Lun Dun, by China Miéville, who throws off more imaginative sparks per chapter than most authors can manufacture in a whole book. . . a lively adventure replete with memorable set pieces."
—Washington Post Book World
"Miéville fills his enthralling fantasy with enough plot twists and wordplay for an entire trilogy. . . and that's a good thing."
—Entertainment Weekly
"The most thoroughly playful tale Miéville has written."
—Locus Magazine
