Rob, who passes the time in his rural Florida community by wood carving, is drawn by his spunky but angry friend Sistine into a plan to free a caged tiger.
A tiger did rise.
A quick little read and an hour well diverted. This was well written with some interestingly drawn out characters in a familiar setting (to me at least). It was a bit too much like [b:Bridge to Terabithia|2839|Bridge to Terabithia|Katherine Paterson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327880087s/2839.jpg|2237401] for my taste, though this had a more concrete story line without being quite as maudlin and was missing some the fantastical elements.
