This is a series review of the entire Tiger’s Curse Saga by Colleen Houck!  I loved these books!

I loved this book almost as much as the Giver! I’m falling in love with Lowry’s books one by one! Kira’s connection to her embroidery art is touching and mysterious.

The responsibility of art can be a heavy burden or a joy, and Kira has to make decisions, hard choices, about how to Continue reading →
