The Tiger Rising


I just finished a book called The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo. It's about a boy named Rob who lost his mother to cancer, and lives in a motel with his father. When his school bus arrives one morning there is a new girl named Sistine ( after the Sistine chapel ). She doesn't look very nice until he gets to know her. One day Rob was walking through the woods when he discovers a tiger in a cage! Through the process of taking care of the tiger Sistine and Rob's friendship grows stronger every day.



Three thing I learned from reading this book-


1. Working together can make a friendship grow stronger.


2. I learned about the Sistine chapel and its artwork by Michelangelo.


3. First impressions may not be accurate.
