dc.description.abstractYoung adult literature is transformative and helpful for adolescent readers during a pivotal time in their lives, and the use of prophecy enhances literature's ability to impact readers' attitudes and emotions about themselves and their challenges. The Tiger's Curse series provides young readers with a character who navigates similar developmental challenges and reaches her full potential as she follows the tasks outlined in an ancient prophecy. The series artfully combines prophecy with romance, a search for purpose and self-potential, and forming connections and relationships, which mirrors young readers’ realities to imbibe the sense that we are all destined to achieve something; this sentiment is a welcome and necessary message to youth who are tasked with finding themselves and their role in life.
