Chapter One: An Urban Adventure

He's smart. He's awkward. He's pudgy.

He's Diego Domingo, a Filipino boy lost in the tumultuous world of adolescence who finds himself in the unlikeliest of places: a city that looks and smells a lot like 19th century Manila-except that it's populated by Filipino mythological creepies like aswangs, manananggals, kapres, and some revolutionary heroes he'd only read about in textbooks.
