Auch ohne magische Tiger geht in Hamras Leben gerade alles drunter und drüber. Eigentlich will sie sich gar nicht dauernd mit ihrer Familie streiten, doch dann sagt sie immer genau das falsche, und könnte sich danach die Zunge abbeißen. Wo ist bloß die Hamra von früher geblieben, und warum ist es so schwer, herauszufinden, was für ein Mensch man eigentlich sein will? Als Hamra dann mit ihrem besten Freund Ilya einem magischen Tiger helfen soll, seine menschliche Gestalt zurückzuerlangen, findet sie sich auf einmal in einem fantastischen Abenteuer wieder. Ihre Mission führt sie kreuz und quer durch die tropische Inselwelt Malaysiens und dabei sollen sie noch herausfinden, was es eigentlich bedeutet, wirklich ein Mensch zu sein.

And maybe someone at the competition had something to do with it. As secrets are revealed and the true colors of her friends are shown, it's up to Najwa to find out who's behind these mysterious postsnot just to save Trina's memory, but to save herself.
