My brief summary of the book
Lily and her family (her older sister and mother) are going to move in with her grandmother. It seemed happy at first, but Lily soon found out that her grandmother was sick. Lily meets a tiger who offers to help her restore her grandmother’s health in return for releasing stories. Will she release all the stories and save her grandmother?
My thoughts
The author hit the nail on the head with this story. The story was so exciting that I couldn’t put the book down. I think the characters are brilliantly well-developed in a fascinating way. I admire Lily’s ambition to save her grandmother. Overall, this book is mind-blowing!
The cover attracted and intrigued me, so I had to find it, and I found it at the library. I love tigers because my Chinese astrological sign is a Tiger 🐅.
