Heart of a tiger, strength of a dragon, body of a … schoolboy? Tiger Warrior is a thrilling new action-adventure series with the magical power of the Chinese Zodiac.
When Jack’s grandpa gives him a magical jade coin, Jack finds himself caught in an ancient battle between good and evil. For he is the new Tiger Warrior, and it’s up to him to save the world!
Luckily, Jack has the spirits of the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac to help him. Tiger can harness the power of fire, Dragon can control water, Monkey has lightning speed, and as for the rest of the animals, well they’re just happy to be out of the jade coin for a bit! But other ancient spirits want the power of the Chinese Zodiac for themselves…
M. Chan is a British Chinese children’s author and Chinese storyteller, entertaining children in libraries, museums and schools with their favourite Chinese myths and legends—all of which feed into the magical world of Tiger Warrior!
Attack of the Dragon King had my heart racing from its riveting beginning to its sentimental end—I read it in one sitting! The action-packed storyline, combined with striking illustrations, helps early readers aged 5+ to envisage Jack’s journey.
I thought the focus on the Chinese Zodiac was a fresh and original way to introduce the concepts of tradition and culture to a young demographic. Jack’s strength and determination is inspiring, and I have no doubt that early readers will be motivated to attain these traits too—I know I was!
With a brilliant cast of magical animal zodiac creatures, deadly demons, and spine-tingling spirits, this brand new series is perfect for fans of Adam Blade and Percy Jackson. Keep an eye out for book #2 in the Tiger Warrior series, to be released in October 2021.
