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. 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. 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. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
