Town Boy

    (:01 First Second, 2007)
™ and © 1980 Lat
Part of the Kampung Boy series.

From the Publisher:

Here continues Lat’s Kampung Boy series, a timeless favorite of millions of readers in Southeast Asia, available at last in the U.S. We return to Mat in the late 1960s, no longer a village boy but a teen coming of age in a Malaysian town. At boarding school, far from his rural roots, he discovers bustling streets, hip music, heady literature, budding romance, and through it all his growing passion for art.

The second in this wondrous series, Town Boy offers more of Lat’s delicious storytelling and enchanting pen-and-ink. At once exotic and marvelously familiar, his cartoon world lays a bridge to another world, another culture, another time. As School Library Journal hailed in a starred review, “American audiences are lucky to finally receive this international classic.”
