The Tiger Rising is about a boy named Rob. Rob lives in a motel called the Kentucky Star with his dad. His mom died in Jacksonville, Tennessee. They moved away so no one would talk about it. There is a tiger in an abandoned gas station. One day he meets a girl named Sistene in school. She thinks people in the south are arrogant. At lunch she gets chased. Robs tells the people to stop chasing her. Later that day the principle tells him that the rash on his foot might be contagious so he will have to stay home after school that day. When he goes home on the bus he knows the rash will never go away so he never has to go to school again. Also Sistene sits next to him. Later on he tells Sistene about the Tiger. The next day Buaechamp who owns the motel gave him a job to feed the tiger. The next day Sistene comes over and sees the tiger but gets caught by her mom. The next day Bueachamp goes into town and gives Rob the key to the cage. Then when they free the tiger Rob's dad kills the tiger with a shotgun.
