A wildly imaginative journey into a magical, dreamlike world--and a deeply human story about who we are. "Loved it! Chock-full of magic!"
--Guillermo Del Toro, director of The Shape of Water If a stranger arrived and told you that the world you knew-your community, your family, and your hometown-wasn't really where you belonged, would you follow them and leave it all behind? Imagine living in a perfect world. You have a loving family, a beautiful home, awesome friends and about three hundred loyal pets.Everything is just as it should be. Until one day, when a stranger arrives. A stranger who looks just like you. A stranger with a very disturbing message . . . Hometown is a visually gorgeous, emotionally stunning (and frequently funny) meditation about what it means to belong, and what makes us who we are. From the singular mind and brush of Shaun Tan, creator of The Arrival, Tales from Outer Suburbia and The Lost Thing. "A passionate, clever and inspiring tale about how we choose which family to love."
--Darren Aronofsky, director of Black Swan "A joyful, surprising, marvelous book."
--Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love "A many-splendored thing--set beside the densely realized imaginings of Miyazaki."
--Dave McKean, author of Cages
