Reviewed by Bookworm, age 9

For twelve-year-old Fu, when your temple is being destroyed, there is no choice between running or fighting. It's always running. But Fu doesn't want to run, and instead steals the dragon scrolls from his evil brother Ying. He runs off into the forest only to come upon trouble inside the governor's village where his friend the tiger cub is captured, and Fu is thrown into a bamboo cage. But then he discovers a twelve-year-old named Ma who, despite his ear injury rendering him half deaf (caused by Fu), decides to help Fu when Ying's soldiers attack the village and Fu's father Sanfu (also known as the drunkard) is hit by a qiang. If you want to find out what happens to Fu, then read Tiger by Jeff stone. This book is for both boys and girls, ages about 8-13. If you liked books and kung fu movies, you'll definitely love this series from the award-winning author Jeff Stone.
Also in this series: Monkey, Snake, Crane, Eagle, Mouse, and Dragon (in order).
