heidialice recommends The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, "Both are fantastical YA at its best. Gaiman is an acknowledged inspiration for Mieville, and it shows, though he has his own distinctive style and voice."
heidialice recommends The City & The City by China Mieville, "May be an obvious recommendation, but these books cover a similar (very original) premise in very different ways. Un Lun Dun is for young teens, smaller (see more) in scope and message-heavy; The City & The City for adults, deals with complex themes and offers no easy answers. Both display Mieville's consummate skills and elegant humor."
Rubbah recommends The Undrowned Child by Michelle Lovric
heidialice recommends The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
elbakerone recommends The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
Scorbet recommends The City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers
Phantasma recommends The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
Phantasma recommends Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
