Today’s Kindle Daily Deal for Kids is Kate DiCamillo’s Newbery Award winner, The Tiger Rising (4.5/5 stars, grades 5 and up, priced at $1.99 today only). From Amazon:
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 heartaches, and tigers – can’t be locked up forever.
If DiCamillo’s name sounds familiar, it’s because she’s also the author of Because of Winn-Dixie (another Newbery winner), The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, The Magician’s Elephant, and The Tale of Desperaux.
