The Tiger Rising - Kate DiCamillo

What would you do if you found a tiger in a cage out in the woods? Would you leave it alone? Or would you let it go, knowing it would probably die?

The Tiger Rising is a bittersweet book about loss, love and learning to let go. DiCamillo is becoming one of my favorite young adult authors. I've read two more of her books, which I'll hopefully review soon (when I get off my bottom and start working my way through by backlog of reviews). Because this lady? She can write.

The characters in this book are so real, so sad, and ultimately so filled with hope that you can't help but love them.

This is definitely a book for the younger set, 1st through 6th grades.
