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.

i can't stand how good these books are. it's just amazing that Kate Dicamillo can do all this with her books! She puts alot of potential in her books that makes you want to read it!

I will give a thumbs up. I really liked the metaphor that Kate Dicamillo used to display Rob's feelings (A suitcase that Rob,the main character, kept shut). I would recommend this book to ages 8-12 because I think people around that age would enjoy it the most (even though it is a very short and easy to read book). : )

This is a compelling story about Rob and Sistine, two unlikely friends. Rob has a strained relationship with his father after losing his mother. He is bullied at school. Sistine resents her mother leaving her father and movie to this narrow minded town. Read to find out if they overcome!

love this book read it in 4th grade

Awesome book.

This book is heartflet book about a boy named Rob who longs for his mother who died from cancer. Throughout the book, I learned that tigers, friends, familiy, and emotions, can not be locked up forever.
