Description

National Book Award finalist by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo. Walking through the misty Florida woods one morning, twelve-year-old Rob Horton is stunned to encounter a tiger—a real-life, very large tiger—pacing back and forth in a cage. What’s more, on the same extraordinary day, he meets Sistine Bailey, a girl who shows her feelings as readily as Rob hides his. As they learn to trust each other, and ultimately, to be friends, Rob and Sistine prove that some things—like memories, and heartache, and tigers—can’t be locked up forever. Featuring a new cover illustration by Stephen Walton and an excerpt of Kate DiCamillo's newest novel, Raymie Nightingale.

    This wasn’t Kate dicamillo’s best book, but it was good. I like it cause I can relate to a lot of this stuff I am 10 but I still care for all wildlife. When I kill even a hornet, my brain is just like FELIX JOSEPH BLAND! WHAT DID YOU DO!?!? This was sad cause it was a legit tiger!!!!

    This book is so great my 4th grade teacher gave us copies to read it together and the book is nice, except for when the tiger got shot. It is way better than Where The Red Fern Grows. Me and my classmates couldn’t stop crying 😭. I want it for my birthday 🥳!

  • Omg the Best book EVER(this has spoilers)

    This is one of my favorite Kate Dicamillo books. It talks about grief, loss, friendship and more. I first read this book in 4th grade and I still do. I recommend it to people who have a hard time dealing with grief or loss.

  • The best book I’ve ever read(this has spoilers)!!!!

    The Tiger Rising shows how to handle pain that a person can go through, I had lost a family member and I would refuse to cry. Because I thought crying was for babies and thats what people told me, so after I read this book, i had cried for the first time in five months after loosing someone. I say teachers should be required to read this to their kids because it has such a story behind it and shows that crying is okay and you should never let your sadness or anger or any emotion sit at your feet and stay there. Because relief is all one needs to sooth the soul.

  • Good but

    The book was good but it was also very confusing. I would not suggest it. It seemed too long and if u liked it then it’s fine
