Bookroo's summary
In a world where the mundane turns fantastical, an alien exchange student, a mysterious escape room, and a grandfather's wild tales defy reality. Dive into Shaun Tan's captivating stories where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, leaving you questioning the boundaries of imagination.
From the publisher
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.
