This was a very good book!  Actually, it was a GREAT book!  GO READ IT-- NOW.

 

By this time you are either eager to know what it's about or irratated that I've been stalling!  So the time has come.

This book is very similar to Phantom Tollbooth (but WAY darker) and those other stories where somebody falls down some-where and they end up in some mad place.  Same idea, by the plot will blow you away!

It starts off with these two girls named Zanna and Deeba.  No, they aren't skimpy book worms or writers, but just average kids.  Except,Zanna.  A weird chain of events followed Zanna, including a fox that dipped its head.

So some how, an event that includes a moving unbrella causes Zanna and Deeba to enter the abcity of Un Lun Dun, it's LONDON but it's NOT.  There's also Hong Gone, No York etc. etc.

In Un Lun Dun, there's an evil vilian who suffers from the sin of gluttony.  It is the Smog, and it's SO original I didn't think it was possible .  Zanna is suppose to defeat the Smog, but is the Smog so strong that Zanna can defeat it?  Maybe.

In Un Lun Dun, it's a very crazy place, much like Wonderland.  

This is a very bad review, but I tried.

It's a really good book and there's so many twists that it would blow you away.
