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.

Great job Beth! That's sounds like a really good book . . . and what a cool name to have - Sistine! Love you!
who put a tiger in a cage in the middle of the woods and just left it there? was it locked? who unlocked it? i'm confused.
