I enjoy this so muchðŸ˜
It's very atmospheric I can taste the jambu. I love how this book explored places and fruits and birds around Malaysia and I'm familiar with them and can't wait for the international readers to feel them too!!!
The story set in Mayalsia, 2020, during the COVID pandemic. It's nice to see an entertaining adventure during those struggling time.
Hamra, a 13th yo girl, ever so tired and obedient first girl in an Asian household, took something from the jungle and had to pay the price for her action. Accompanied by her neighbour/ best friend, they went on a quest with the weretiger to undo the curse. The story laced with the devastating social distancing policy, being away from parents, and taking care of grandparents (with grandma having the dementia).
What I love:
- The pace is okay. The quest woven perfectly one after another.
- ILYAS AND HAMRA RELATIONSHIP:( that's what friendship are for
- HAMRA AND THE WERETIGER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Anyone who love middle grade should give this book a go💓
Thanks Netgalley and HarperCollins Children's book
