Un Lun Dun – China Mieville

Zanna and Deeba are best friends, and one day, they find themselves in an alternate version of London (UnLondon), where Zanna is supposed to save the Unlunduners from a terrible fate. Except Zanna is unable to help, and Deeba ends up being the one to save the day.

This is definitely aimed at younger readers – the word play is pretty obvious, but also fun. And it’s nice to see a chosen protagonist story where said protagonist is not the one to save the day, and the funny sidekick does it instead.
