middle grade adventure

From the author of Marikit and the Ocean of Stars, a magical middle grade adventure about three Filipino children who must find their way through a mystical land filled with monsters and gods from Filipino lore.

Good news! The Boy, the Mountain, and the Serpent Who Ate the Moon is Junior Library Guild-approved! This coming fall, you will see TBTMATWATM in the guild’s Fantasy/Science Fiction Middle Plus selection along with many wonderful titles that deserve a space on your bookshelf.

For almost a century, the Junior Library Guild served as a companion to librarians, carefully sifting through hundreds of titles and curating books that match meticulous standards. Editors review manuscripts and customize monthly titles that suit the needs of each library, offering readers access to a diverse selection of award-worthy books.

What a joy and honor to have both of my books on the guild’s middle-grade selections! I am excited for librarians and young readers to discover The Boy, the Mountain, and the Serpent Who Ate The Moon, a book perfect for those who love learning new myths, meeting a diverse cast, and undertaking a quest filled with courage! I hope you enjoy Bayani, Isay, and Aaron’s journey and leave you with wonderful lessons to remember.
