MEET THE CHARACTERS
MATT JAMES (from London, England)
Twelve years old, tall, with light brown hair and hazel eyes.
Matt was really pleased to win a place at the Beijing International Academy because it meant that even though he’d be at boarding school, he would be in the same city as his mum Heather, an ambassador just posted to Beijing. Matt has a photographic memory that can always be relied on to get him out of trouble – and sometimes into it! He is trained in Tae Kwon-do.
OLIVIER GIRARD (from Zurich, Switzerland)
Twelve years old, medium height, with blonde hair and green eyes.
He is the son of Swiss diplomat. He's able to talk his way out of any situation, and he speaks three languages. He's the one the group rely on when they need to go under cover.
Sport: Kung Fu
SHAWN HUNG (from New York, USA)
Twelve years old, the shortest of the four, with jet black hair and brown eyes.
He comes from New York. He's an ace when it comes to technology. This comes in handy when The Tigers try to get through the best alarm system in the world in Tangshan Tigers: The Stolen Jade!
Sport: Judo
CATARINA RIBEIRO (from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
Twelve years old, the tallest of the Tigers, with long black hair and dark brown eyes.
The daughter of Carlos Ribeiro, a wealthy Brazilian politician, Catarina is a light-fingered and extremely agile girl who can wriggle her way out of any tight spot. She is feisty and rebellious, having trained in the South American fighting style of Capoeira, even though she dare not tell her father. He had initially enrolled her in the dance-format of the art as a way of keeping her busy (and out of trouble), but Catarina was taught the combat form of it by her old teacher, and has secretly practised ever since.
