The Tiger and The Pomegranate

Author(s): Jean T Fauber

Location(s): South East Asia

Genre(s): Children

Era(s): 2026

Nate is about to turn twelve and plans to spend the summer doing fun stuff with his older brother Joe. But when Joe breaks the news that he is going to Cambodia for a college project, all Nate could imagine was a boring summer by himself.

Paul, their mysterious globe-trotting uncle, could see Nate’s sadness and presented him with two special birthday presents. A glass ball from Indonesia, and a constantly changing map of Southeast Asia. Uncle Paul tells Nate that the map will guide them on a journey to meet up with Joe.
Nate is excited but worried that his weak legs won’t carry him through three countries, and even more concerned when a tiger becomes his traveling companion. Nate must discover all the magic within the glass ball as he and his friends outsmart dragons and dinosaurs.
