In an alternate reality a lot like our world, every person's physical size is directly proportional to their wealth. The poorest of the poor are the size of rats, and billionaires are the size of skyscrapers. Warner and his sister Prayer are destitute - and tiny. Their size is not just demeaning but dangerous: day and night they face mortal dangers that bigger, richer people don't ever have to think about, from being mauled by cats to their house getting stepped on. There are no cars or phones built small enough for them, or schools or hospitals, for that matter - there's no point, when no one that little has any purchasing power, and when salaried doctors and teachers would never fit in buildings so small. Warner and Prayer know their only hope is to scale up, but how can two littlepoors survive in a world built against them? Brilliant, warm and funny, this is a social novel for our times in the tradition of 1984 or the work of Douglas Adams.

I was not totally sure what to rate this book as. When it first arrived it looked beautiful, I loved the cover and overall it was of a high quality. When I started reading 'Mun Mun' I was transported to a new world, the author put a lot of work into describing the world and the lives of the characters. The plot also kept me hooked enough to keep on coming back so as to find out what happens to Warner, Prayer, and Usher. Though for as much as enjoyed this book, I feel that it could have been more, the concept was different and I feel that this book will become very popular for that alone, but something about the writing made me cringe from the first page to the last, and unfortunatly I could not shake that feeling. It was a good book, but I feel that it did not live up to its potential and that the writing style will limit this book to perhaps a teen audience.
