The Tiger Orchard by Joyce Sweeney


I began to read this book on reading day. Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish it because a few pages into the book, I became uninterested. Regardless, I'm not saying it's a bad book. I liked the beginning because I made several references to my Psychology class. It starts off with a young boy talking to a psychologist about his dreams; better yet, analyzing them. I didn't know much about this character but the author reveiled that his father had died, or so the boy thinks he did. In his dreams, he talks about a tiger being there. He was a little frightened but the tiger was tamed. He didn't want to attack the boy; in a way, he was His relationship with his mom isn't the greatest. In a way, his brother gets in between them because he gets along better with her. I can't really relate to the main character because I have a really good relationship with my mother.

  1. The picture of this book reminds me of a circus lol. Im guessing that the characters dad was killed by a tigger. Physcology is a great class i took that last year. That class helps you understand more things. Know i relate to things that i learned in psychology class as the days go on without me even relaxing it.
