What the Tiger Said Roger Ladd Memmott

PAPERBACK PERFECT BOUND (180 pages) "PAPS WAS IN JAIL AGAIN. Paps was in jail and she hardly knew what to do with herself." So begins the plight of a nameless child who lives in a boxcar reading about Wonder Girl and wondering about adventure in a wonderless land. The world is on the verge of collapse, and when a man with tattoos on his face and his "crush" with blue eyes come peddling tickets to heaven she finds herself not only in pursuit of a ghost but hoping to right a number of wrongs. As insubstantial in her view of herself as the ghost she pursues, what is left but to find her seeking the entrance to heaven, propelled by a magical pipe right into the heart of a tiger with a monkey tagging along? WHAT THE TIGER SAID is a prequel to NEBRASKA'S MAP, a heroic odyssey, comic and poignant in the telling, and sets the stage for the world to come.
