When You Trap a Tiger by Tae Keller
5.0
The power of stories and magic and love.
When Lily and her family move in with her sick grandmother, a great tiger appears almost straight from the Korean folklore that the grandmother used to tell Lily and her sister.
Is it real? Is it just Lily's imagination? Who can say?
A beautiful love story to Korean traditions and to stories in general. Tae Keller has such a way with words it's truly astounding.
It reminded me of "A Monster Calls" by Patrick Ness but instead of how you deal with a long term illness, this one talks about sudden loss, when you don't have time to prepare and you don't want to let go.
