Description
'A Little Princess - with tigers! Orphan and outcast Sahira Clive is a brave and plucky heroine with a brightly burning heart. I was rooting for her all the way to the end of this thrilling - and thought-provoking - adventure.' Ally Sherrick, award-winning author of Black Powder
Sahira's family are travelling to England to deliver two majestic Indian tigers to the menagerie in the tower of London.
But tragedy strikes and sickness steals Sahira's parents from her on the journey. Left alone in London, Sarhira finds herself confined to a miserable and dangerous orphanage. Despite her heartache and the threats she faces, Sahira is determined to carry out her father's last request - to protect God's beautiful creatures: her tigers. To do so, Sahira must set out on an adventure and use all her powers of persuasion to engage the help of some new friends along the way.
Can the quest to find her tigers a safe home, lead Sahira to find her own place of hope and belonging in this strange and foreign land?

"A Little Princess - with tigers! Orphan and outcast Sahira Clive is a brave and plucky heroine with a brightly burning heart. I was rooting for her all the way to the end of this thrilling - and thought-provoking - adventure." -- Ally Sherrick, award-winning author of Black Powder 'It's impossible not to love the witty and brave Sahira as she makes her way, orphaned and alone, in the harsh streets of London. This is the definition of a page turner - beautiful writing, thrilling adventure and a hero as fearless as the tigers she cares for.' -- Annabelle Sami, author of Agent Zaiba InvestigatesMore details
