Eleven-year-old Rob Horton, who passes the time in his rural Florida community by wood carving, is drawn by his spunky but angry friend Sistine into a plan to free a caged tiger. Reprint.

The Tiger Rising

I wish there was more to the ending. I felt like there could be a deeper connection between the tiger, Sistine's backstory, and Rob's grief. The ending didn't seem to resolve any of the conflict that the characters were facing. I wish the ending was more hopeful for the characters, rather than leave everything hanging.
