    What would happen if you could actually live in your own imagination?

    Well, Josiah finds this out one day when he comes across a random pair of sunglasses at a store that just happen to
    be free. When he gets home he puts them on, and as soon as he does he's swept up into an imaginary world  that he
    believes he has created. Once there, he meets two of his imaginary friends that he's had for many, many years. At
    first this doesn't seem real to Josiah, but soon he realizes that this is as real as it gets.

    When he takes the sunglasses off, he's back home and time hasn't even moved while he was gone. A week or so
    later, he decides to go back, and this time when he does he sees a girl there who looks familiar. She looks familiar
    because in the real world she goes to school with him! Soon, Josiah and this girl become great friends in this
    different world and even manage to stay friends in the real world.

    Things start to get a bit scary when a sort of war starts between the two different groups in Josiah's imaginary world.
    The one thing he doesn't quite know for sure is...if you die in your imaginary world, do you die in the real world, as
    well?

    This book was pretty good. It wasn't something that I was really excited about reading because it wasn't my usual
    type of read, but it ended up being pretty good with all of the action. This book was written by a 15-year-old boy!
    It's crazy to think about. I think he's a great writer and definitely has a future ahead of him in writing. He could
    definitely write a sequel to DOUBLE LIFE. I think readers would like to see Josiah go back to his imaginary world
    and keep fighting, along with his imaginary friends and the other friends that he has made there.

    Overall, if you're a big fan of action-adventure, then this is the book for you. It's filled with action and some intrigue,
    too.
