This book is about a boy named Rod. His mom died. He met a girl named Sistine. He kind of likes her. Then Rob saw a tiger in a cage and Beauchamp drove up in his Jeep and told Rod it was his tiger that he trapped . Beauchamp asked if Rod could feed his tiger daily and Rob said "yes". Sinstine did not like that the tiger was trapped, she wanted it to be free. Then Sitstine kept begging Rob to let it go. Then finally Rob pulled the keys to the tiger cage out of his pockets and said "lets go let the tiger free". Sistine was very happy!!!! They went to the cage and unlocked it, it took the tiger a little bit time to see the unlocked door then it walked out into the woods. They were so happy!!!! Then all the sudden they heard a gun shot!!!! To find out what happened next READ THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
