Book Synopsis



NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Two kids and a mystical tyger must save a divided world on the brink of destruction in this thrilling fantasy with the epic sweep and imaginative wonder of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials.

WINNER OF THE BRITISH BOOK AWARD FOR CHILDREN'S FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR

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?

Set in an alternate world where the British Empire still exists and brought to life with stunning black-and-white illustrations by award-winning artist Dave McKean, this compelling and thoughtful adventure is one you won't want to put down!



Review Quotes




"McKean's deeply evocative, postmodern illustrations further enhance the reading experience. Said has created an amazing fantasy that will change its readers. A must-buy for all libraries"--Booklist, starred review

"The story's strength lies in its evocation of Blake's imagery and his ideas about imagination and creativity, which offer something for readers to ponder. McKean's black-and-white illustrations, complex and dramatic, enhance and transform the text's effectiveness."--The Horn Book Magazine
