"After decades of children's stories with adult intelligence, Sachar has given us an adult novel with a child's heart. The Magician of Tiger Castle is a medieval fable for the modern age: wise and whimsical, tragic and comic, familiar and strange. I loved it."—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House

"Louis Sachar weaves a tale that's both timeless and brand-new. Clever, wistful, and lovely in equal measure, this is the kind of book that lodges itself in your heart!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

“There’s a feeling you have as a reader when you step into the hands of a master. Every Sachar book has this—a sense of competency and certainty. ‘Trust me, this is going to all make sense soon.’ Well, I trusted, and the story of The Magician of Tiger Castle came together so beautifully, I wept at the end. It was everything I wanted and more. I laughed, I cried, I clapped with joy and wonderment in the middle of a coffee shop. I could not put the pages down, and now that I’m finished, I am heartbroken the journey is over. I adored this book. It is undoubtedly a new favorite, perfect for fans of Holes—or for any reader who wants to go on a grand, magical adventure for the sake of true love.”—Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of The Witchlands series
