China Mieville
Un Lun Dun is one of my favorite China Mieville books. The story follows a girl who is the Chosen One and must save Un Lun Dun from its enemies. Un Lun Dun reminded me a little of Neverwhere, a city below London that is a refuge for forgotten things and people. Mieville takes a different turn and includes sentient garbage, flying broken umbrellas, spiders made out of windows, and other oddities.
I believe this book might be officially a Young Adults novel but it is one of those books that can be enjoyed by anyone. This would be a good summer read for anyone interested in fantasy and imaginative storytelling.
