The Tiger Rising by: Kate Dicamillo


Rob has had a hard life. Since his mom died he thought that life was hopeless, but one day as Rob was pondering through the Florida woods he sees a tiger locked up in a cage. That same day he meets Sistine a girl who seems so confident and so bold. Together they make the perfect team. Rob the shy one and Sistine the brave one. When Rob and Sistine become friends they realize that something weird is going on with the tiger and they have to set it free, but can they?

This is such a sad but good book. It is a short book but it has so much meaning. I would recommend it to anyone because it is suitable for everyone.

RATING: 6/6
