Would you make a deal with a magical tiger? This uplifting story brings Korean folklore to life as a girl goes on a quest to unlock the power of stories and save her grandmother.
Some stories refuse to stay bottled up....
When Lily and her family move in with her sick grandmother, a magical tiger straight out of her halmoni's Korean folktales arrives, prompting Lily to unravel a secret family history. Long, long ago, Halmoni stole something from the tigers. Now they want it back. And when one of the tigers approaches Lily with a deal - return what her grandmother stole in exchange for Halmoni's health - Lily is tempted to agree. But deals with tigers are never what they seem! With the help of her sister and her new friend Ricky, Lily must find her voice...and the courage to face a tiger.
Tae Keller, the award-winning author of The Science of Breakable Things, shares a sparkling tale about the power of stories and the magic of family. Think Walk Two Moons meets Where the Mountain Meets the Moon!
"If stories were written in the stars...this wondrous tale would be one of the brightest." (Booklist, starred review)

Great
I really liked the book, I would recommend the book for children to read with thier parents.
It will take you to a different world altogether. My favorite part was the time when Sam and Lily told eachother thier secrets. This book has a special bond with the grandmother and the granddaughter.

A great book ruined by irritating reading.
It is very irritating to listen to this person reading the book with a made-up voice and unduly loud shouting once in a while. Extremely disappointed. The narrator reads the book in very unpleasant tone.
