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.

5By LuchiLuvsChainsaw123This 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)
5By BIGGESTBookwormI LOVED the book my teacher first read it in 4th grade I love the book and the movie but I like how in the book the tiger does NOT get shot 😭😭😭 so sad😭😭😭😭😭 But my fave part is how my teacher said “Stop crying, crying ain’t gonna bring her back.” It was hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣 (No offense Mrs.Gawron.Now im speaking for you None taken.) OMG guys like for real I’ma call you LOCO/CRAZY if you don’t read this more than once! 10-10 obviouslySuch a wonderful book ♥️♥️♥️
5By Ameila S.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)!!!!

4By linkinparkisthebestAmazing book though sad in some partsThe Tiger Rising
5By SammeeeeeeeThe 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
4By vod roThe 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 fineLJ
5By leí leíThis is so touching, I loved it so much ❤️🐯🐯🐯
5By mal🎃😻In fourth grade, my teacher read it out loud to the class.It is so GOOD 😊, The book is in my top 10.At The end of the book it is 😭No plot, no plot.
2By POWBot2000😀😄My teacher read this for read-aloud at my school, and, honestly for the record it’s got the crappiest plot. It’s also written pretty terribly, too. SUMMARY Rob, a kid with rash-covered legs, moves out of Jacksonville and to some place in the south. He gets bullied by bullies Norton and Billy Threemonger. One day he takes a stroll in the forest and sees a caged tiger near a run down gas station. One day, a new girl, Sistine,(who dresses too fancy) comes to school. Rob then gets expelled JUST BECAUSE OF HIS RASH-COVERED LEGS. He and Sistine become friends, and Rob shows her the tiger. Sistine wants to free it. Then they meet Willy May, the apparent “Prophetess,” and they show her the tiger. After that, Beauchamp, the owner of the hotel Rob lives in gives Rob the job (and keys to the tigers cage) to feed the tiger. Rob and Sistine decide to free the tiger. But then when they do it Willy May warns Robs Dad that they are freeing the tiger. He shoots the tiger. They bury the tiger, The End. Seriously, no plot. CONCLUSION, LIFE LESSON Conclusion: In the end, they kill and bury the tiger. Cool. Life Lesson: Um, I guess something like,”Everyone deserves their freedom”? Well, that’s my review. Maybe I’ll edit later. -Bye, POWBot2000Great book!
5By Pat-BreeThis book is one of the best books I have ever read! If u have not read this then ur missing out! I don't like thick books and this is only 116 pages! Love this book!A sad, but good book!
5By What app is thisI rate this 5 stars because of story line, and how well the author written the book! It made me feel like I was in the book, as if I were a character, standing next to Billy,helping his adventure with Old Dan and Little Ann. 👍 Anyways, its a good book.The tiger rising
5By Distracted tigerI think the book was both happy and sad at the same time, because the boy had a condition that the principal thought was contagious. Then a new student came and changed the perspective of his lifeThe tiger rising
