Description During Books The Tiger Rising

The National Book Award finalist from the best-selling author of Because of Winn-Dixie—now in paperback 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 heartaches, and tigers—can't be locked up forever.

Comment On Based On Books The Tiger Rising

WOOHOO SPOILER FREEOf course I am going to give this five stars, it's by my favorite author. But if I could, I might have given it a 4. 8, just because it might have been my least favorite of her books. What I really like about this story is that there is a lot of character development in this book, with very important life lessons. I also related to Rob in away I've never related to a character before: his itchy legs. My entire life I have never been able to stop the scratching. No medicine, no



I have been a huge fan of Kate DiCamillo's writing for a long time, often comparing some aspects of her children's books to literary fiction. This book, while not her best, did not disappoint. As usual in DiCamillo's longer works, there is a dark side to this tale of a boy whose mother recently passed away, whose father works as a maintenance man at a run-down motel, and whose inner pain is so strong that it causes his legs to sprout blisters. DiCamillo takes this boy, Rob, and makes me want to

I thought this book was like the people of northern New Jersey: tough, short and complicated. It was a bit depressing throughout, with tinged of hope around the edges. I've read it four time as a read-aloud for 4th graders, and it's getting better each time. A lot of different ways to read this, and it's like a non-stinky onion with lots of layers.

Sadness, said Willie May, closing her eyes and nodding her head. You keep all that sadness down low, in your legs. You not letting it get up to your heart, where it belongs. You got to let that sadness rise on up. ********************************************************I wish Kate DiCamillos books had existed when I was a child. I read some fun books as a kid but not many that would stick with me throughout my lifetime. Kate DiCamillo would have satisfied the kid version of me who was looking

this author probably gives out prunes to kids on halloween. this is the second of her books i have read, and it's another depressing one. it's true, both of them end on sortof upbeat themes like the redemptive power of love (once you are so broken and disfigured it's almost not even worth it) or the liberating feeling of overcoming grief (after so much death and senseless destruction that no one really cares about your tiny feelings) so yeah - little happy afterthoughts. but they are hardly a

Wow. I'm quite speechless. This book is simply such an amazing book. Although the storyline particularly for me was a bit boring, but the meaning and the metaphors from this book were extraordinary! I didn't like how the author killed the tiger at the end but I understand why she did, it made it more powerful. I for one, did not clearly understand this meaning... a bit confusing for me. Another thing that I thought would happen was if the rash did go away after he let out his sadness. The book
