It's six months since Rob's mum died and he moved to Florida. His dad won't talk about her at all. So Rob fills a suitcase in his mind with all his forbidden thoughts, and keeps it tight shut. But when he finds a caged tiger deep in the woods, his whole life begins to change.

This one of the best. How the author describes little things in big detail, gives me goosebumps and wants me to read it over and over! I would recommend this book if you are looking for a book you wouldn't just read once and get bored of it. In my opinion I think this book should be ages 6-7 and up, cause' the book gets pretty sad.

It was a fairly good book but NOT the best if you are searching for books with suspense and good plots.

I recommend this book for 1-10 grade. I think kindergarten will cry because it is sad.😢

This book is pretty good to read. It is easy and quick to read, so if you just want to read something, this book is recommended. It’s about this boy named Rob, who finds a tiger locked up in a cage in the woods. He can’t stop thinking about it, and then he meets the new girl, Sicilene, who can be demanding, but always stands up for herself. She and Rob are very different, but Rob trusts her to tell her about the tiger. Sicilene wants the tiger to be free, but they find out the tiger belongs to the motel, where Rob lives, owner. Sicilene will do anything to get the tiger free. The Tiger Rising is a great book, full of detail and emotion.

This book is about a little boy named Rob, who lives with his dad in a motel after his mom died. The owner of the motel owns a tiger, who has no name and is treated poorly in a small cage. Bullying is a main theme in this story. This book has some very sad parts, but also a few happy ones too. I would recommend this book to kids 9 and up, it’s a really good book.
