A touching and true story about how sixth-grader Rob Horton once found a tiger that a cruel owner had hidden in the woods in an iron cage. The tiger became the boy's greatest secret. And he shared it with only one person in the world—Sextine, a new classmate who, like Rob, had become an outcast in class. This is a story about two teenagers facing difficult life circumstances, about how painful it is to lose those you love, and, above all, about courage and honor, and how important it is to stay true to yourself and believe in your own strength. For middle school students.
