| Description: |
Written by Kate DiCamillo for ages 9-12, this book is about a 12-year-old boy, Rob, who finds a caged tiger in the woods behind the motel where he lives with his dad. The tiger is so incongruous in this setting, Rob views the apparition as some sort of magic trick. Indeed, the tiger triggers all sorts of magic in Rob's life--for one thing, it takes his mind off his recently deceased mother and, ultimately, helps Rob deal with his grief. |
