Fantasy | Young Adult Adventure
Paul Dear is a good and clever boy, doted on by a father
who fills his son’s head with tall tales, thrilling
legends, and talk of fairy-folk, and by a mother who
indulges these fantastic stories and tempers them with
common sense. But Paul is special in ways that even his
adoring parents could never have imagined. For by day, in
London’s Kensington Gardens, he walks and talks with the
pixies and sprites and other magical creatures that dwell
among the living–but are unseen by most. And at night in
his room, a boy much like himself, yet not, beckons to
Paul from the mirror to come adventuring. It’s a happy
life for Paul, made all the more so by the birth of his
baby sister. But everything changes when tragedy strikes, and Paul
concludes that there’s only one course of action he can
take to dispel the darkness and make things right again.
And like countless heroes before him, he knows that he
must risk everything to save the day. Thus begins a quest that will lead Paul down the city’s
bustling streets, to a curio shop where a magical ally
awaits him, and launches him into the starry skies, bound
for a realm where anything is possible. Far from home, he
will run with fierceIndian warriors, cross swords with
fearsome pirates, befriend a magnificent white tiger, and
soar beside an extraordinary, ageless boy who reigns in a
boundless world of imagination. Brimming with the sly humor and breathless excitement of a
traditional Victorian bedtime story, deftly embroidered
with its own unique wisdom and wonder, Tigerheart is a
hymn to childhood’s happiness and heartbreak, a meditation
on the love, courage, sacrifice, and faith that shape us
and define our lives, and a splendidly rendered modern
fable–for readers of any age–that brilliantly proves
itself a worthy brother to the timeless classic that serve
as its inspiration.
