Hometown

You need to know who I am.
What I think and how I feel.
Then you'll know why I did what I did.

Imagine living in a perfect world.

You have a loving family, a beautiful home and awesome friends. Everything is just as it should be. Until one day, when a stranger arrives. A stranger who looks just like you. A stranger with a troubling message ...

From the creator of The Arrival and Tales from Outer Suburbia comes a visually stunning, moving and humorous meditation on all the things that make us who we are and how we choose to live.

PRAISE FOR HOMETOWN

'Loved it!! Chockfull of magic!!' - Guillermo Del Toro

'I can't overstate how much Shaun's work has meant for me and my family over the years. And now, his latest is a passionate, clever and inspiring tale about how we choose which family to love. I am so excited to share this one with mine.' - Darren Aronofsky

'Where The Arrival was about leaving home for the strange but hopefully welcoming new world, Hometown is about what makes us what we are-family, friends, environment. A joyful, surprising, marvellous book.' - Kelly Link

'Here is a cornucopia of a world to set beside the densely realised imaginings of Topor or Miyazaki - a many-splendored thing.' - Dave McKean
