From that minute on, Tom's life changes forever. Tom has always felt different from everyone else, but he has no idea how different he really is until he learns that he is the latest in a long line of magic-wielding beings called Guardians. For centuries, a Guardian has protected a powerful talisman that can either bring peace to the world or bring about its destruction. It has been kept safe-until now.
For now, the most evil being of all has sent his terrifying minions to lay siege to the talisman and its latest Guardian, a tiger called Mr. Hu. The Guardian has his own allies in the battle, including an outlaw dragon, a mischievous monkey, and his new apprentice-Tom. But Tom doesn't want to be the tiger's apprentice. What can he possibly do to help this ragtag band? And can they all stop bickering long enough to unite their powers in time?
This rich, action-packed fantasy from two-time Newbery Honor author Laurence Yep reveals a hidden world within our own-where animals take human form, where friendship is the final weapon in the battle between good and evil, and where a young boy must save the world he knows . . . and the one he is just discovering.

Opinion: An excellent book.
Exciting, Enchanting, interesting and magical.
One of the best books I have read.
It is in my favorite book list.
It should have a place reserved on every child-teens book-shelf.

I bought this book along with the other two in the trilogy. My son could not put them down. He is an extremely advanced seven year old. They are exciting, mind stimulating, funny, and interesting. We are going to find more from this author.
