Mika always thought the gods and goddesses of the Philippines were no more than legend-until she wakes one and discovers a destiny she never imagined. Though Mika Mirasol's boarding school classmates tease her for clinging to the stories of legendary beings her lola raised her on, she can't help but love them-those myths are all she has left of her guardian. That is, until a year after Lola's death, when a moth speaks to Mika in the old woman's voice. Mika experiences a burst of inexplicable power, and in her panic, she accidentally casts a spell and binds herself to two eavesdropping classmates. Literally stuck together, Mika, Halle, and Teo grudgingly set out to find a counter curse in ancient Filipino beliefs. But the more they learn, the more it seems that Lola's tales were all true-and that Mika is destined to play a role in them. The mythology of the Philippine Islands comes to life in this funny, warm, and enchanting graphic novel about making friends, learning to let go, and finding your place in the world.
