Really enjoyed . Author tries , perhaps, to deal with too many themes . Cancer,dementia, the loss of a parent, lgbtq, racism,classism…. She is fairly successful, but , understandably, some ideas get short shrift because so much is going on. Still, the Korean culture and folklore throughout and a nice solid central character make for a great story

- Age: Intermediate

- About a girl who grandma is sick and in order to heal her she must return something that was stole from a tiger. The deal is shady and the story of what happened is share.

- I think this would be a cool book to have on my shelf as it is a story about culture and a bit of fantasy.

Phenomenal. Slap TWO Newberry's on the cover! Such a fantastical way to explore identity, culture, and running from yourself when who you are will never truly leave you. Oh, how I loved this book!

Solid middle-grade novel about a shy younger sister finding her voice and discovering family secrets. A magical tiger sounds exciting, but this is more of a quiet story. I listened to the audiobook -- the narrator was great. She made the grandma character come alive. (Side note: I thought the grandma's name was Harmony for a bit, but it's explained that halmeoni means grandma in Korean).

Keller addresses the QAG (Quiet Asian Girl) stereotype head-on in the book. Lily sees herself as so shy she's practically invisible. But when she starts seeing a tiger stalking her family in the middle of their small Washington state town, she realizes she has to take bold action.

Representation note: Toward the very end of the book, there's an LGBTQ relationship brought to light.
