A HAUNTING, NOSTALGIC COLLECTION that is both an homage to childhood and a simple wish that tomorrow everything will be fine.
Welcome to Melag, an eerily fantastic town located somewhere between dreamland and the real world of Bong Redila's childhood hometown in the Philippines and where love, joy, and heartbreak hold hands. Travel on a train with singing, blob-like beings, meet a shack that floats away because of a "borrowed" brromstick, romp with futuristic creatures on a playdate, dance the father-daughter dance at a wedding, with a robot, visit a carnival with two goofy boys, and cry with two lost souls who come together as friends in the rain.
Originally published in the Philippines, Melag: Town of Fables is a hugely successful phenomenon there, winning the 2017 National Book Awards for Graphic Literature, the 2017 Komikon Best Graphic Novel, and the 2018 National Children's Book Awards, Best Reads for Kids. This is the first time it's been published in English.
