Tiger Boy
About This Book
Neel lives in the Sundarbans, among mangrove trees and the tigers that roam the forest, and he loves the place with all his heart. His parents, though, have bigger plans for him. They hope he will win a scholarship and move to the city to continue his studies, a future that would take him far from the only home he has known. Then a tiger cub disappears from the nearby reserve. A man named Gupta wants to sell the animal and has sent his henchmen out to track it down. Neel knows what will happen to the cub if they reach it first, and he cannot stand by. With his sister Rupa beside him, Neel sets out to find the cub and bring it to safety. The search takes them into the forest after dark, where every shadow holds a danger and every hour counts. As the pair race to stay ahead of Gupta's men, Neel must decide what he is willing to risk for the creature, and for the land he is so reluctant to leave. Tiger Boy is a middle grade adventure by Mitali Perkins. It won the South Asia Book Award in 2016 and the Neev Book Award in 2018.
