Double Life (The Adventures of Josiah Jones)
is a first novel by Dawson Vosburg, who is just barely a young adult himself (14), in the Science Fiction category. There are some additional reviews on the Paperback
edition, but the book is suprisingly well written, coming from a 13 year old author (at the time of writing). There are some misused words here and there and the writing level is definitely young adult, but it's well worth the 80 cent price tag. He's managed to gain quite a following for an independent author, not bad for one of any age, and the readers tend to be mostly adults.Book Description
What if you could leap into your own overactive imagination? And what if you met your imaginary friends there? What if it was real?

This masterpiece of storytelling is fast, fresh, and fun, and keeps you engaged in this boy's strange double life between the imagined and the real.
