Description
A stunning deluxe edition of the classic novel features full-color designed edges, a ribbon bookmark, and a bonus essay by the author about her inspiration for this beloved story.
Walking through the misty Florida woods one morning, twelve-year-old Rob Horton is stunned to encounter a tiger—a real-life, very large tiger—pacing back and forth 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. “DiCamillo's gorgeous language wastes not a single word,” said Booklist of this haunting second novel, which was nominated for a National Book Award and turned into a major motion picture. “Spare and taut her sentences spin out, with the Florida mist rising off them.”
