Where Did You Get Your Tiger, Robert?

By Sara K. Wall

Robert is moving up to middle school, which is difficult enough. He is also taking along his best friend, Boo the Tiger. Boo is talkative and very smart. He gives Robert good advice just when he needs it. The problem is, only Robert can hear what Boo says. Robert’s mother wonders if he needs counseling. Alton, the biggest bully in middle school, is determined to grab Boo and get rid of him. It’s not easy being the newest, youngest kid in middle school. This short novella is rooted in wisdom and yet grows in many unexpected and fanciful ways. Mid grade readers up to adults will find its story challenging, moving and lots of fun.
