Our list includes several books that draw attention to the uncertain future that tigers face and the humans who risk their lives to protect them.Sobre o tigre siberiano ficamos a saber que é um animal imponente (chega a pesar 500 kg e medir 9 m de comprimento), dotado duma força descomunal e duma paciência infinita sempre que o objectivo é matar (chega a esperar 48 horas pelas suas presas)

This ancient, tenuous relationship between man and predator is at the very heart of this remarkable book. Throughout we encounter surprising theories of how humans and tigers may have evolved to coexist, how we may have developed as scavengers rather than hunters, and how early Homo sapiens may have fit seamlessly into the tiger’s ecosystem. Above all, we come to understand the endangered Siberian tiger, a highly intelligent super-predator that can grow to ten feet long, weigh more than six hundred pounds, and range daily over vast territories of forest and mountain. By regularly bringing down large prey like elk, moose, boar, and deer, the tiger feeds countless smaller animals, birds, and insects, not to mention the soil. Every such event sends another pulse of lifeblood through the body of the forest." There was also a very interesting magic system that didn't seem to be toned down for kids to read and understand, which i appreciated a lot (with an awesome fight sequence toward the end of the novel).A tiger goes man-eater and terrorizes a remote Siberian village. Can Yuri Trush and his men end the tiger's bloody reign of terror or join its long list of victims? Stepping gingerly over the ice and plowing through the drifts, there was in its progress something relentless and mechanical: the clouds of steam chugging, engine like, from its nostrils, translucent whiskers laced with hoarfrost from its own hot breath."
