This is the another book by the famous author of "Because of Winn Dixie" and "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane". This one isn't as sweet as the others. Rob Horton, an outcast, discovers a caged tiger while walking in the woods. After he befriends another outcast from school, Sistine Bailey, they begin to devise a plan to free the tiger. The caged tiger becomes a metaphor for the caged emotions of the two main characters. Both Rob and Sistine must come to terms with loss. Does Rob free the tiger even if it would get his father in trouble? Read more to find out. Good for fourth grade and up.
Food for thought: What would you have done if you were Rob?
