āTiger Girls is an exciting, absolutely absorbing, haunting and heartbreaking exploration of courage and solidarityā¦ Tiger Girls is real. And at the same time, this work is a feminist dream. It is a validation, and perhaps a high point of us Asian womenās fight for survival.ā
āBora Chung, author of Cursed BunnyāIn this tense, gorgeously illustrated island fantasy, you can smell both the mangroves and the blood. Woven with Chinese and Southeast Asian influences, Tiger Girls creates a sweeping yet acutely familiar world of difficult survival, found family, and girls protecting one another as well as the right to exist on their own terms. I devoured this ā a beautiful addition to any fantasy loverās shelf.ā
āWen-yi Lee, author of When They Burned the ButterflyāTiger Girls is a fantastic tale on so many levels. Deceptively simple in its premise, the world and its characters unfold rapidly into an exploration of girlhood and rebellion, with a powerful message in its roaring heart. Claire Lowās fluid, expressive art, rendered in a gorgeous ocean-themed colour palette, brings Felicia Low-Jimenezās signature clean-flowing pace and moving words to life.ā
āMeihan Boey, author of The Formidable Miss CassidyāRichly rendered in a unique art style and dynamic paneling, Tiger Girls is a powerful tale of survival and solidarity that explores the myths and lies society transforms into truths in the pursuit of subjugation.ā
