Big city . . . new music . . . budding romance. . . .
When Malaysian teenager Mat moves from the quiet kampung where he was born to Ipoh, a rapidly industrializing town, his life changes dramatically. Living far from his rural roots at boarding school, he discovers bustling streets, modern music, heady literature, first love, and through it all his growing passion for art. This companion book to the critically acclaimed Kampung Boy, offers more of Lat's thoughtful storytelling and exuberant pen-and-ink artwork. At once exotic and familiar, his cartoon world builds a bridge for readers into another world, another culture, and another time. |
