The Tiger Rising

Author: Kate DiCamillo

Rob’s world is shattered when he discovers a caged tiger in the woods behind the motel where he lives. As he grapples with his mother’s illness and bullying at school, the tiger becomes a symbol of hope and freedom. With the help of a spirited new friend, Sistine, Rob finds the courage to confront his fears and unlock the tiger’s cage. DiCamillo’s poignant tale weaves themes of loss, friendship, and self-discovery into a touching story that will resonate with readers long after the final page.

Sistine was right. He was a coward. He was letting his father rise up inside of him and take over everything.
