The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo

by H.K.

This book is about a young boy named Rob Horton. Rob discovers a large and very real tiger in a big, huge cage. This all started off on a misty Florida morning. But on the same day Rob meets Sistine Bailey and begins to understand that some things like memories and tigers can't be locked up forever in a cage. As Rob and Sistine learn to trust each other and to be good friends to each other. But also there is one more thing I have to tell you. It is that Rob moved to Lister, Florida from Jackonsville. Ever since his mother's death, Rob has shut up his feelings in a 'suitcase' tightly and clamped it together to secure his own feelings to forget about it. He is determined that nothing will let him ever cry again. Rob hopes to not cry over his mother's death.

I think my family would enjoy this book because it is a book that my dad enjoys very much. I love this book because it tells about how to behave well and act friendly to your friends and other people you meet.
