The Blurb On The Back:
It’s Chinese New Year and Jack is excited to celebrate and watch the traditional lion dance. But in the Jade Kingdom the mythical New Year beast is real - and really dangerous!
Jack can’t help feeling scared to battle the creature that haunts his nightmares. Can he face his fears and save the Jade Kingdom?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 3rd in M. Chan’s TIGER WARRIOR fantasy series for readers aged 6+ continues to make good use of the Chinese zodiac and mythology with Alan Brown’s illustrations adding to its energy. I liked the way Chan shows Jack’s fears and his relationship with the always fearful Rabbit and although the story is a little jumpy, younger readers will enjoy it - especially the martial arts scenes - and it does convey aspects of Chinese culture.
TIGER WARRIOR: RISE OF THE LION BEAST was released in the United Kingdom on 20th January 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
