Aloha!
Peanut here (who else would it be?) with a review for the book Tiger Boy.
This book was even used in my class as an anchor text for nature. The entire 6th grade had to read and annotate it to learn about summaries, transition words and also for the setting of the Sunderbans as it was related to our expedition-"Geography that shapes us." No this book is not that boring that old, cranky teachers like it so much (they can like GOOD books sometimes too.) It is genuinely written very well and the backstory and struggles can be related to other village people.
Here's a summary:
Neel is an extremely clever boy who loves his village. He has been offered a scholarship and his family wants him to go and earn money and be successful but, Neel hates the idea of leaving his beautiful Sunderbans. And then a tiger cub escapes from the reserve! Gupta is determined to find the cub and sell it in the black market. Neel and his sister, Rupa, are determined to save the cub from Gupta's clutches. What will happen?
Read the book to find out!
Back to the book. It's a short one, but the story makes up for it. It contains elements that every good book should- an introduction, a plot , a conflict, a climax, a solution and a catchy title.
Just kidding! (about the the title. I mean everything else.)
I do, however, think that the author could have made the story a bit more interesting. Once you've read half of the book, what's going to happen next is pretty obvious.
Rating on the P.M; ★★★.9 out of 5
Ciao (sorry if I've used that before, can't think of anything else),
