Tiger Wars: The Falcon Chronicles by Steve Backshall |
Tiger Wars by Steve Backshall |
As Saker runs away from the dogs and the clan he bumps into Sinter, an Asian girl who is forced to marry a horrid man. Because Saker is on the run he grabs her and then they run off together. They are going to get the tiger cubs back from the clan before it is too late.
It takes them from India to the Himalayas and then to China. Half way through Sinter gets captured by one of the clan. Are Saker and Sinter ever going to meet again and are they going to save the cubs before it is too late?
I liked this book, but it was not my favourite because the author didn’t describe the surroundings very well and you could almost have been anywhere. Apart from the fact that it lacked the description, it was a pretty good book. I loved the idea where each member of the clan is given a name based on how they move and how they go about doing stuff.
I’m not quite sure what age this book is suitable for but I definitely know people who like adventure might enjoy this book.

Hello Little M, I enjoyed reading your review. This book sounds like one that pupils at my school may enjoy. Do you think that girls in years 5 & 6 would be too young to read this? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt could be appropriate but it depends on their reading ability. I quite enjoyed it.
