Get ready to be
transported back to the magical world of Gabun and the travails of Moymoy
Lulumboy as Lampara Books brings you the third installment following the saga
of the ‘batang aswang.’
Moymoy Lulumboy: Ang Paghahanap Kay Inay hits the shelves beginning September 17, 2016 in a grand launch at
the SMX Convention Center, coinciding with the 37th Manila
International Book Fair.
In this book, Moymoy
is able to save his twin brother Alangkaw and their childhood friend Hasmin, a manananggal. Having found out as well
who their mother is and where she may be found, the twins embark on a mission
to save her by following certain missions as bidden them by Ingkong Dakal, the
guardian of the Gabun archives. Will Moymoy and Alangkaw be able to accomplish
the tasks and eventually be reunited with their mother Diyosang Liliw at last?
Penned by champion of original Filipino literature for the youth and
Precious Pages Corporation stalwart Segundo ‘Jun’ Matias, Jr. with illustration
by award-winning visual artist Jomike Tejido, Moymoy Lulumboy: Ang Paghahanap
Kay Inay will surely be a new favorite for Filipino readers to read over and
over until the next installment.
