Description

When Jack's grandpa gives him a magical jade coin, Jack finds himself caught in an ancient battle between good and evil. For he is the new Tiger Warrior, and it's up to him to save the world!

Luckily, Jack has the spirits of the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac to help him. Tiger can harness the power of fire, Dragon can control water, Horse has lightning speed and the rest, well they're just happy to be out of the jade coin for a bit! But other ancient spirits want the power of the Chinese Zodiac for themselves...

With a brilliant cast of magical animal zodiac creatures, deadly demons and spine-tingling spirits, this series is for fans of Adam Blade and Percy Jackson.

Author Bio

Maisie Chan is an award-winning British Chinese children's author who lives in Glasgow. They have written early readers (Rising Stars) and had short stories published in various books such as Ladybird Tales of Superheroes (Penguin) and Stories From Around the World (Scholastic). In 2018, they started the Bubble Tea Writers Network to support and encourage British East Asian writers in the UK. They won the 2022 Jhalak Prize and the 2022 Branford Boase Award for their middle-grade novel, Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths (Bonnier).

Maisie was adopted and grew up in Birmingham, surrounded by British Chinese foster siblings whose families would often take them all out for delicious Chinese food. Maisie grew up watching lots of kung-fu movies as they were the only people on the screen who looked like they did. Maisie decided to become a children's author so that there was at least one positive chinese role model for children to look up to.

Maisie Chan has been a Chinese storyteller in the past and entertained children in libraries, museums and schools with their favourite Chinese myths and legends, all of which feed into the magical world of TIGER WARRIOR. Maisie lived in Taiwan for a while to try to learn Mandarin Chinese which is a very cool language to learn!
