The small town of Hamlein is peaceful and... well, pretty boring. Nothing exciting ever happens. That is, until the day an alien spaceship lands in the town square!

Only Dr. Polly Piper and 12-year-old twins Tommy and Gerta Friedrichs think there's more to the alien visitors than meets the eye.

Will the twins, Dr. Piper, and her pet pig Hamish be able to prove that the cute creatures are actually bent on taking over the town? Or will the aliens overtake the quiet town of Hamlein in their quest for world domination?

Story and art by Bong Redila.

A haunting, nostalgic collection of short comics that is at once an homage to childhood and a simple wish that tomorrow everything will be fine.

Welcome to Meläg, 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, spy a shack that floats above the treetops because of a "borrowed" magical broomstick, romp with futuristic creatures on a playdate, roam a carnival with two goofy boys, dance the father-daughter dance at a wedding with a robot, and cry with two lost souls who come together as friends in the rain.

Originally published in the Philippines, where it is an award-winning bestseller, Meläg: Town of Fables marks the English language debut of Filipino American illustrator and author B. Redila. Drawn in a spidery, cross-hatched pen-and-ink style reminiscent of Edward Gorey, this charming collection will transport readers of all ages.
