In this bilingual English-Tagalog story set in the U.S., an all-American boy of Filipino descent, some amusing manongs--Filipino elders--and a fish with unusual faculties take off on a fanciful romp through a dreamscape of the imagination. Author Anthony Robles` irrepressibly lively characters and improbably funny adventure will delight readers. Artist Carl Angel`s evocative illustrations leap off the page and pay affectionate homage to one neighborhood`s Filipino-American past.
