Un Lun Dun is a place where words are alive, a jungle lurks behind the door of an ordinary house, carnivorous giraffes stalk the streets, and a dark cloud dreams of burning the world. It is a city awaiting its hero, whose coming was prophesied long ago, set down for all time in the pages of a talking book.</p><p>When twelve-year-old Zanna and her friend Deeba find a secret entrance leading out of London and into this strange city, it seems that the ancient prophecy is coming true at last. But then things begin to go shockingly wrong.</p><p><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em></p></div> Del Rey Un-Lun-Dun/China-Mieville/e/9780345495167 ANTjbGbiAXYC 9780345495167 68496 rus Children's Books.6-8
