Twelve-year-old Lalani Sarita lives on the fictional island of Sanlagita, where people say benedictions to the foreboding Mount Kahna and dream of sailing to paradise on Mount Isa. This book is a beautiful story about bravery and friendship drawn from Filipino folklore. Being from Asia and having visited the Philippines I could relate. In my case, Erin Entrada Kelly's MG fantasy debut, Lalani of the Distant Sea, will be THAT book. Because even though the narration did not clearly state that the story has Filipinx MCs and setting, the entirety of the storyline screams Filipino pride.
Once a person’s spirit is taken by the whenbo, it stays there forever. When you lean close to the tree, it whispers the dead person’s name. The whenbo in LALANI OF THE DISTANT SEA are inspired by several various creatures from Philippine mythology, including the engkanto, which are ancestral spirits. Although the whenbo itself isn’t found in Filipino folklore, trees are extremely prevalent in Philippine mythology and play many functions, including homes for spirits, tree-dwellers.
