Wang, a South China tiger cub, finds his carefree life in the forest turned upside down when poachers capture his mother. He escapes into the forest and soon becomes lost.

Lee, the poacher’s son, along with his best friend Tai (a rare golden monkey) secretly follows his father and witnesses the hunt. Lee spots Wang as he escapes and follows him into the forest.

Wang is visited by the spirit of the Blue Tiger who instructs him to undertake a journey to the mythical animal sanctuary known as Bi An Dun. The cub is joined on his adventure by an Australian cassowary called Cass, and an English pine marten known as the professor. 

In this delightful tale, fantasy, adventure and humour are cleverly interwoven with the very serious issues of endangered species and the destruction of their habitats.

As a bedtime story for younger children read by parents or guardians, or for intermediate readers, children can expect to learn an important conservation message, vital for the next generation.
