Another great addition to the Adventure Club series, Tiger in Trouble follows Tilly and her friends as they travel to a wildlife sanctuary in India in search of Tara, Tilly’s adopted tiger club.

This is the perfect book for budding eco-warriors and environmentalists. Not only does it look at global issues facing animals, it also gives suggestions relating to practical ways you can help wildlife in your locality.

The illustrations and engaging presentation style make it a fun and interesting text. I would recommend this to pupils in Year 3 and above. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

Another globetrotting adventure in this fab little series for young animal lovers.

The Adventure Club are off to India to help an endangered tiger cub. They encounter lots of other wildlife along the way & return with another inspiring idea for conservation in the UK. Fab!

This book is so much fun! I love the characters, the adorable pictures and the story. I wish I were a child and read this right before the summer holidays. But I guess I can still create my own Adventure Club as an adult and read more books like this with like-minded people!

I really liked this book. I feel it will fit very well into our eco school, with lots of animal loving children. The chatty diary style is also really easy for children to read. And I really liked it.

Tilly is the author of the diary and she won a chance to be part of a group called The Adventure Club. Her favourite animals are red pandas, tigers, bees and butterflies. She has friends called Leo and Anita who live in other areas of the UK, but are part of the adventure club. She has returned from Nepal, where they helped protect red pandas.

At school she has set up a Afterschool Adventure Club, planting bee and butterfly gardens and willow house for their HQ! They are worried that over the summer they will miss the sight of the purple emperor butterfly, so they plan to get the caretaker and gardener to help them.

But this really isn't enough for Tilly! When she gets home she checks the post for a letter from a tiger sanctuary - she got an "Adopt a Tiger" present for her birthday and is worried she hasn't heard about 'her' Bengal tiger cub, Tara, since then. She writes to the tiger reserve but they write back saying they haven't seen her for a while, there's a drought in India and the animals are going further away from the reserve. Tilly is worried, she contacts The Adventure Club to see what they can do, they've just invested in some motion sensor cameras which Julia thinks they could use to spy the tigers. She and Steve could go set them up. Tilly thinks this would be good but.....

This book really makes you think about what we need to do to protect our animals and their habitats. And that isn't just the ones in foreign countries.

Thankyou to Netgalley and Orion books for allowing me to read the second installment of The Adventure Club series.

This series is truly brilliant, teaching children about protecting animals, wildlife and more. The drawings by Kirsti are truly delightful.
The story itself is a great balance of adventure and informative, enough to teach and engage children in the story.

This story doesn't just teach ecological morals but also teaches about patience, friendship, trust, adventure and responsibility.
This book is great for any young reader and will leave them on the edge of their seat, as Tilly goes on her journey and comes across Crocodiles, floods and more...but will also leave the young ones giggling with the animals playing, having water fights and causing mischief.

A perfect gift for any child who loves adventure, animals, nature and more.

Jess Butterworth has done research so the book includes facts and figures about the animals mentioned in the book.
After Tilly comes back from her adventure in India, she takes what she has learnt and adapts it to her life at home. As an extra treat Butterworth has included what Tilly learnt and included little facts and activities we can do to help wildlife in our area.

I had no idea that this book is actually the second in a series, the first one being The Adventure Club: Red Panda Rescue. However, it didn’t seem to matter because I still enjoyed it for a cute, quick spark of joy that it was!

Tilly is worried about news of a drought in India because her adopted tiger cub Tara has gone missing in search of water. There are all sorts of dangers around the tiger sanctuary that could befall Tara and her mum and Tilly knows that The Adventure Club can help. So, they make the trip to India where they learn all about the varied animal life in this beautiful country while keeping their tiger search at the forefront of their minds.

Kirsti Beautyman’s distinct illustrations accompany the story and go alongside Tilly’s diary entries perfectly. I could almost imagine a very talented child recreating the artwork to depict their own friends in their own journals. The book speaks directly to its young readers and I know so many children will see themselves in The Adventure Club.

Tilly’s reactions to meeting the amazing animals that she comes across in India mirror what I know my own would be. How many kids get the opportunity to see tigers, elephants and crocodiles in their natural environment? Tilly is incredibly lucky and she knows it!

The Adventure Club: Tiger in Trouble is also full of animal facts, some of which I knew and some that I didn’t. So, as well as being a fun story with a lot of heart, it’s also wonderfully educational. A lovely, fun, quick escape from the every day!

Tilly's back and this time she's off to India. In the second of Jess Butterworth's young fiction series, The Adventure Club, there's a new wild animal in danger and some dangerous wild territory to explore...

When Tilly learns that her adopted tiger cub has gone missing, alongside her mother, Tilly is determined to do something to help. Soon she is on her way to India with the rest of The Adventure Club. Have the tigers gone in search of water because the monsoon is late? It's time for Tilly and her team to investigate.

This is a brilliant adventure series for animal-lovers and our review of the first book, Red Panda Rescue, sums up how much we love it. The diary format is fun and accessible for readers who are just finding their feet and, although the story is fictional, it is packed with interesting, factual information about how animals live in the wild.
Although the stories are gentle in tone, the plots are fraught with danger and suspense. In this book, Tilly encounters rapidly rising flood waters, crocodiles and nearly disturbs a nest of King Cobras. Not wanting to give too much away, it remains to be seen whether she finds the tigers. But knowing Tilly, she isn't going to give up easily...

Our favourite aspect of this series, is that Tilly always applies what she learns in the wild to her local area. She is a budding eco-warrior and animal protector and she teaches readers to make a difference to their environment, even if it's only in the confines of their back garden or school playground. It's a joy to read and we really want this series to run and run!

A big thanks to NetGalley for allowing me a review copy. Tiger in Trouble is now available to b

A big thank you to both Net Galley and Orion Children's Books for letting us review this adventure.

The Plot:

It all started when Tilly's parents unwittingly got her a Tiger adoption certificate for her birthday. . . . .

Summer hols are looming, and the School Adventure Club Tilly started with the aid of her teacher is shutting down for the holidays. Tilly is at a loose end and misses her adventures at home and abroad. At least she has the fortnightly letters from the tiger reserve telling her how her adopted tiger, Tara, and her mum, are doing. Suddenly, it dawns on Tilly that she hasn't received a letter. What could be wrong? She sends a letter to India, and after a long and restless wait, gets a response. It seems Tara and her mum haven't been seen for ages.

Fearful of some major incident that could have forced the pair of tigers out of the reserve and into the way of poachers or other trouble, Tilly sets about trying to help the two. Ultimately she enlists the help of the Adventure Club team, and she and her two pals head to India and a fabulous new adventure.

So, what did we think?

Jess Butterworth is renowned for great children's stories. This series so far is no exception. The pictures by Kirsti are a delight and so much a part of this books magic.

The book is written in the first person, in part in diary form, with copies of letters and instructions. The text and dialogue are beautifully balanced throughout by Tilly's delightful pencil sketches of her friends, places, and the animals she comes across.

The story itself is a wonderful mix of information and adventure, enough of each to please and inform the younger reader. Read by or read aloud to a child of say age 6 plus, this is a great book to prompt discussion and further reading or involvement.

The adventure highlights Tilly and her friends' excitement, fears, and hopes as they race to ensure that Tara, the tiger cub and her mum have water and are safe. As well as helping and learning about other animals they come across on route.

There are lessons to be learnt here, not just ecological ones, but those of patience, friendship, trust, adventure and responsibility. Tilly makes mistakes, and the consequences are shown to be dear. But she learns from them, too, just as we all do in real life.

So . . . .

Crunch time.

All in all, this is a marvellous book that will add so much value to those that read it. I would not hesitate to buy this series for your young globe-trotting adventurer!
