Student Saturday: The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo

Publisher:  Candlewick, 2002
Pages:  128
Genre:  Middle Grade, Adventure

Student Reviewer:  Isidro, this is his review as he wrote it.

I have lots of adventures and this book does too which is why I like it.  A boy without a mother, because  an accident took her away.  He feels lonely only wit his father not able to tell him secrets so as he gets on the bus to school he sees a girl.  She is dressed so fancy just for school.  All of the kids are making fun of her.  At one point Rob asks for her name.  Sistine becomes his best friend and that same day after school he meets a tiger and keeps it a secret.  After meeting him he tells Sistine and they both carve out tigers out of wood and begin an adventure in a forest.
