What would you do if the stories of your childhood suddenly began coming to life? Teagan Wylltson’s best friend, Abby, dreams that horrifying creatures—goblins, shapeshifters, and beings of unearthly beauty but terrible cruelty—are hunting Teagan. Abby is always coming up with crazy stuff, though, so Teagan isn’t worried. Until Finn Mac Cumhaill arrives, with his killer accent and a knee-weakening smile. Either he’s crazy or he’s been haunting Abby’s dreams, because he’s talking about goblins, too . . . and about being born to fight all goblin-kind. Finn knows a thing or two about fighting. Which is a very good thing, because this time, Abby’s right. The goblins are coming.
Review
Tyger, tyger is a book i've walked by a milllion times in the library withthe intnet that I would read it the next week. I had never bothered to read an excerpt because I was determined to read it because the title reminded me of my favorite poem. Its a little out of my comfort zon of what I normally read, but it's still fiction and all fiction is within my spectrum.
Tyger, Tyger is about two teen and a six year old boy who have to find their father because of bad blood. These kids families have been facing goblins since the beginning of time. Now that job has been past to them when a girl sees a murder that no one else can. Tyger, Tyger isn't the most entertaining book in the world. It didn't captivate you with suspense or keep your heart beating for action. I was able to distinguish what would happen fair before I did, but I read on. I enjoyed the old Irish legends , but didn't understand some of the connections that were trying to be told in the book.
As for the characters they weren't my favorite. Finn was an arrogant male whom you wanted to kiss and slap which was good, but Teagon was a pansy who relied to much on Finn and other people to help her. While she stood up for what she believed she also backed down when danger was present. Aiden was adorable. He was six and was eventually responsible for more than most adults would be able to handle. All in all I would give this book a star and a half.
