Review of the tigers apprentice

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

Summery: This book is about a boy whose life is changed on the day he meets Mr.Ho, a talking tiger. Then the house is attacked and his life changes forever. Opinion: An excellent book. Exciting, Enchanting, interesting and magical. One of the best books I have read. It is in my favorite book list. It should have a place reserved on every child-teens book-shelf.

Awesome book!

I bought this book along with the other two in the trilogy. My son could not put them down. He is an extremely advanced seven year old. They are exciting, mind stimulating, funny, and interesting. We are going to find more from this author.
