by Shaun Tan (Author), Shaun Tan (Illustrator)
Shaun Tan follows The Arrival with a collection of off-the-wall tales combined with his genius illustrations in a unique hybrid format that will build on our current success.
An exchange student who's really an alien, a secret room that becomes the perfect place for a quick escape, a typical tale of grandfatherly exaggeration that is actually even more bizarre than he says... These are the odd details of everyday life that grow and take on an incredible life of their own in tales and illustrations that Shaun Tan's many fans will love.Author Biography
