The Marbury Lens by Andrew Smith

Review by Rebecca, Windsor Branch

After escaping abduction by a stranger, 16 year old Jack visits London, where he gains access to an alternate reality via a pair of special glasses.

Why I picked it up:  The cover piqued my interest, and the book summary convinced me to read it.

Why I finished it:  I was dying to find out whether the world of Marbury was real, or just a hallucination.

I'd recommend it to:  Anyone who enjoys considering the nature of reality, and who likes a good story.  The descriptions in the book were fantastic.
