Klappentext

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 Booklistof 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."
