In post-independence Singapore, tradition clashes with modernity in this compelling tale of the importance of defining one's own story.
When their father Sujakon comes home late one night, raving about bad people coming to take them away, siblings Zuzu and Hakeem are forced to leave everything behind and live in a tent at Changi Beach, with a secret community called Anak Bumi—the Children of the Earth. Here, they learn to live off the land and fend for themselves, and partake in a communal storytelling ritual under the stars called the Wayang Singa. But just as they’ve acclimatised to their new lives, their father disappears without a word and a strange man washes ashore warning of mortal danger from just offshore.
Suffian Hakim is a writer of fantastical, whimsical, wacky books. His first was a parody, Harris bin Potter and the Stoned Philosopher, whose initial chapter was published online in 2013 before going viral. The Straits Times calls Suffian 'undoubtedly one of the most whimsical, creative and unpretentious young voices in Singapore literature'. He was previously a regional content lead at media agency GroupM and had written for television shows such as Random Island and The Noose, and publications Esquire and August Man.
