Zoe and Zak have learned some things since
their first semester at Moonstock Himalayan Academy in India:
#1 Don't trust the parrots.
#2 Don't eat the food.
#3 And most importantly . . . don't stick
around if something crawls out of the lava hole beneath your school.
Last semester, Zoe and Zak returned the first
lost Noble Truth to its rightful home. Now, the seventh graders are back in
India for their second semester at Moonstock, their boarding school high in the
Himalayan mountains where impossible things seem to happen on a regular basis.
School kicks off with the Activity Week Challenge in the tiny mountain kingdom
of Bhutan where the students must deliver medical supplies. Things take a turn
for the worse when Zak becomes deathly ill after an encounter with a strange
floating bubble.
On returning to Moonstock, Zoe and Zak discover
that a creature has come through the lava hole far below their dormitory. When
Zoe and Zak follow the creature, they soon learn what they must do. They have
been tasked with finding the second lost Noble Truth--the Tiger Eye of Justice.
Finding the Tiger Eye sounds like an impossible
mission, and it's only made more confusing when Zak discovers that he has been
given a powerful gift to help with the task. But Zak's new gift is a
double-edged sword, and if Zoe and Zak don't find the Tiger Eye quickly, Zak's
time will run out. The Tiger Temple takes Zoe and Zak deep into an exotic world
of magical enchantment and heart-pounding action. It promises to be the most
thrilling Zoe and Zak adventure yet.
The Tiger Temple is the third installment in the Zoe & Zak Adventures series and is an exceptional MG adventure novel! With great character development, detailed Indian culture and amazing visual graphics, it is one of my favorite Middle Grade series that I've read.
Zoe & Zak are back at Moonstock, the unique boarding school in the Himalayas, that they have been attending and are getting ready for another semester. With so many things happening, they hope for a quiet school time. But when Zak gets struck by a balloon and suddently starts showing the "Creature Teacher" powers, they need to find the Second Noble Truth before Zak's time runs out.
With everything that is going on, Zoe & Zak still have to deal with the new kid - Vijay. With his fancy maids, private jets, and clothes, he is the new popular kid at school and everyone wants to meet him. But Zak knows that something is not right about him and it doesn't matter how charming he is but he is involved more in the story than they would have liked to.
Another amazing novel by Guignard! He never stops to amaze me on the level of creativity and details that he comes up with. When you're reading the story, it feels like you're there and you get transferred to Himalayas with Zoe & Zak. I loved reading about Indian culture and exploring more of the land & its living. I was also glad to see a lot of the characters from previous books and meet new ones. I love Mon Sta, no matter how gross or creepy he might be lol
Audiobook Notes: Sonja Field has done it again! She is so perfect with the characters and the flow of the novel, I tend to forget that it's only one person who's narrating and not a whole lot of people doing different voices. I said it before & I will say it again: She is perfect for this series! Loved it!
