The Magician of Tiger Castle
The Magician of Tiger Castle
by Louis Sachar
Adult Debut? (5/16/2025)
I loved Louis Sachar's Holes as a kid, so I was super excited to read his adult debut The Magician of Tiger Castle. This book was fun to read and had a few surprises, but it took a bit to get into the story and characters. This has a lot of fairy tale undertones and once …more
