Publisher's Synopsis

A beautiful paperback edition of the future classic by Kate Greenaway Medal, Academy Award and Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award winner - Shaun Tan combines humour and surreal fantasy to picture a summer in the lives of two boys.

Never break the rules. Especially if you don't understand them. The boys hide from a giant red rabbit and outwit a crowd of scary eagles, but when their games become ever darker and sinister they learn that breaking the rules can be dangerous.

'Visually fascinating.' - The New York Times
'Thrilling, disturbing and hard to shake...one startling image after another.' - Wall Street Journal

Other titles by Shaun Tan include: The Red Tree, The Lost Thing, Tales from Outer Suburbia and the acclaimed wordless novel The Arrival.
