Overview

Walking through the misty Florida woods one morning, twelve-year-old Rob Horton is stunned to find a tiger -- a real-life, very large tiger -- locked in a cage. What's more, on the same extraordinary day, he meets Sistine Bailey, a girl who shows her feelings as readily as Rob hides his. As they learn to trust each other and, ultimately, to be friends, Rob and Sistine prove that some things -- like memories, and heartache, and tigers -- can't be locked up forever.
