This book is by the same author as The Tale of Despereaux and Because of Winn- Dixie.
This book is more than just a story about two children who have lost their parents. Rob's mother recently passed away after struggling with cancer and Sistine's parents have separated. Rob discovers a tiger in the cage one day out in the woods and shares this and other thoughts with Sistine.
On a literally level the tiger although very real and integral to the story is a metaphor about their caged up emotions towards their situations. It is a quick read, not on the premier's reading list but one that I would want to share with my class.
