Tears of a Tiger

The book that I read was named Tears of a tiger by Sharon Draper. This book was on a troubled teen going through rough times over a horrible, horrible tragic accident that he can’t get over. Andy is the character’s name and he feels as if his friend’s death is his entire fault, and his father doesn’t seem to make it any better on him. Other books you might want to read by Sharon Draper are November Blues which is a great book on a young teen who becomes a mother surprisingly out of nowhere. Forged by Fire is about a young man that has a father that constantly beats on him over petty little things.

The big fact of the story that I think you should know is there was a huge car accident with four young men in the car, the names of the young men in the car are Rob, Andy, Gerald, and BJ. But this book Tears of a Tiger is just telling how Andy is coping with the situation, if want to hear on how the others are doing there is one book named Forged by the Fire it tells how Gerald is taking all of this and also other troubled things he is going through.

I recommend this book to young men who drink or young teens who drink while driving and think that it’s ok and nothing will ever happen. This is an issue for everyday teens. This isn’t for everyone to me mostly for teens and young adults. This book is a great book for those who lost a friend to drinking and blame there selves, for those who deal with a trauma of losing a friend or those who just like reading realistic fiction from time to time. It’s a great book for those who are understanding.
