Books like Tigerheart by Peter David

Peter David’s *Tigerheart* follows Paul Dear, a clever boy raised on his parents’ grand tales of fairy‑folk and legends. During daylight he wanders Kensington Gardens, chatting with pixies and sprites that the world cannot see, while at night a mysterious boy from a mirror beckons him toward adventure. When tragedy threatens Paul’s family, he realizes that only one path will restore balance: a perilous quest through London’s bustling streets, a curio shop where a magical ally awaits, and into star‑lit realms beyond. Along the way Paul rides with fierce Indian warriors, duels pirates, befriends a magnificent white tiger, and flies beside an ageless boy who rules a boundless world of imagination. Blending sly humor and breathless excitement with Victorian bedtime‑story charm, *Tigerheart* is a modern fable about love, courage, sacrifice, and faith that resonates with readers of all ages.
