4.0

Hidden in a secluded clearing on Changi Beach is a secret community called the Anak Bumi, Children of the Earth. Far removed from the frenzy of city life, this community lives in harmony with nature and embraces independence from governmental authorities. They live in tents, they hunt, and they tell stories in a storytelling ritual called the Wayang Singa.

Filled with fantastical wonders, from cosmic journeys to mythical origins, this novel is a multicultural tapestry of stories that lie beyond the dreariness of reality. Escape into this book, and who knows, you will find proper respite from the tedium of modern civilisation!

4/5
