Despre această carte electronică
2023 British Book Awards Children's Fiction Book of the Year
From award-winning author SF Said comes a compelling middle-grade alternate history novel about a world on the brink of destruction and the magical animal that just might be able to save it—for fans of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series.
"There are three doors that I may show you. You will find a different kind of power behind each one..."
Adam has found something incredible in a rubbish dump in London. A mysterious, mythical, magical animal. A tyger. And the tyger is in danger.
Adam and his friend Zadie are determined to help, but it isn't just the tyger's life at stake. Their whole world is on the verge of destruction. Can they learn to use their powers before it's too late?
With stunning black-and-white illustrations from award-winning illustrator Dave McKean, this compelling and thoughtful story is set in an alternate world where the British Empire still exists.
