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?
