Welcome to Litsy!

These facts blew my mind 🤯 Published in 1981, Davey was 16 when the book ended. That would make her 57 now. 🤯 The dad who was shot at the start of the book, who seemed terribly old to me when I read this, was 34. I‘m 42 now. 🤯

This mostly stands the test of time as a great book about loss, family, and moving on. Davey‘s high school struggles don‘t seem the same as YA books today though. The drunken friend storyline was very cheesy.

This book is told in 4 parts, bringing together a tiger with three different humans. I felt that the first part was the strongest though, which was a little disappointing when it changed to a new perspective.

Still a fascinating, unusual read though, and much better than I expected from the blurb.

CW for animals in zoos and some hunting.

Cindy, would you like me to send this to you?
