The Tiger Rising, By Kate DiCamillo

 My book is called The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo. This book takes place in the misty Florida woods.The main characters in this book are Rob Horton and the tiger. The tiger is a character who does not show up a lot in the book because the tiger is mostly in Rob’s head. One important event is when Rob’s mother dies because when Rob’s mother die’s Rob’s mood and personality changed for the whole book. Another important event is when Rob meets a girl named Sistine Bailey on his first day of school. This is a important event because Sistine is helpful and gives Rob evidence in the whole book. I really enjoyed this book because I loved the description poetic words in the book. My favorite part of the book is when Rob meets the tiger because Rob says that he sees the tiger rising. I would recommend this book to somebody who likes poems and art because there is lots of poetic words and lots of art stuff in the book. For example there are  carvings of the tiger that they explain about.

I will rate this book four stars because I think the chapters were a little to short in this book but

any way it was a good book.

  1. Milei,

    Excellent review. You gave a good summary without giving away too much and you gave reasons for why you gave the book four stars rather than five stars.

    One suggestion though – break up long paragraphs into two shorter paragraphs so they are easier to read.

    And you are supposed to have another book review posted. Do you have another one ready to go? If so, post it!
