Brief Description: "Sachar writes an engaging story from a magician's perspective that feels adjacent to a fairy tale." --Library Journal "Readers will be entertained and enchanted." --Booklist "Every bit as creative and endearing as Sachar's dozens of children's and young adult books that enamoured kids and teachers alike for decades. . . . It's funny, surprising, smart and weird, and fully lives up to the high bar you'd expect from a great like Sachar."--Associated Press "A smart 10-year-old will enjoy the story but might not fully understand what makes Anatole tick; a 60-year-old will thoroughly relish this strangely realistic fairy tale with its historically accurate details. When you're sick of high fantasy, blood-soaked heroes, elves and epic story lines, The Magician of Tiger Castle will take you to a time and place where the ability to write was a mystical (and enviable) skill and tea didn't come in bags." --The Wall Street Journal "Sachar retains his style and storytelling charm, so that The Magician of Tiger Castle feels like a book for kids, for adults; a twist on the sort of story I'd have read from him fifteen years ago." --Reactor Biographical Note: LOUIS SACHAR is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Holes, which won the Newbery Medal, the National Book Award, and the Christopher Award, as well as numerous other award-winning titles for young adults and children. Publisher Marketing: - AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER - AN INDIE NEXT LIST PICK - A LIBRARY READS PICK - The beloved author of Holes presents his first adult novel, a modern fantasy classic of forbidden love, a crumbling kingdom, and the unexpected magic all around us. "After decades of children's stories with adult intelligence, Sachar has given us an adult novel with a child's heart"--Alix E. Harrow "Funny, surprising, smart and weird . . . fully lives up to the high bar you'd expect from a great like Sachar."--Associated Press Long ago and far away (and somewhere south of France) lies the kingdom of Esquaveta. There, Princess Tullia is in nearly as much peril as her struggling kingdom. Esquaveta desperately needs to forge an alliance, and to that end, Tullia's father has arranged a marriage between her and an odious prince. However, one month before the "wedding of the century," Tullia falls in love with a lowly apprentice scribe. The king turns to Anatole, his much-maligned magician. Seventeen years earlier, when Anatole first came to the castle, he was regarded as something of a prodigy. But after a long series of failures--the latest being an attempt to transform sand into gold--he has become the object of contempt and ridicule. The only one who still believes in him is the princess. When the king orders Anatole to brew a potion that will ensure Tullia agrees to the wedding, Anatole is faced with an impossible choice. With one chance to save the marriage, the kingdom, and, of most importance to him, his reputation, will he betray the princess--or risk ruin? Review Citations:
