__ The Tiger Rising __ By: Kate DiCamillo The Tiger Rising is a majestic book that tells a story about Rob Horton. A new girl comes to school named Sistine Bailey (like the chapel). Rob and Sistine find a caged up tiger in the woods, and want to set it free. The Tiger Rising is an excellent book on how nothing can be locked up forever. The characters of The Tiger Rising extraordinarily well developed. Rob Horton is a kid with a lot on his mind. First of all Rob’s mother died so they move to Florida. Rob has the meanest bullies named Norton and Billy Threemonger. Sistine is a girl who just wants to get out of Florida to move with her dad. Willie May is a women who speaks the truth, but Rob and Sistine thinks she’s a prophetess (a person who speaks through god). The plot is amazing! Rob’s mother dies so he moves to Florida. A new girl comes to school named Sistine. Rob and Sistine find a caged up tiger in the woods, and want to set it free. The setting is great. It takes place in Florida at the Kentucky Star Motel. Isn’t that ironic! It is an oxymoron. The Kentucky Star is in Florida. That is why the setting is great. The main idea or theme is clear and makes perfect sense. The theme is two kids (Rob and Sistine) find a tiger in the woods, and they want to set it free. As you can see the theme is clear and makes perfect sense. The story The Tiger Rising is the most breathe taking, heart warming, nock your socks off book that you’ll love. Don’t leave this book on the shelf. Your love of this book will not be locked up forever. reveiwed by: Isaac Decker
