Roar

The New York Times bestselling author of Thirst brings readers the gripping story of a boy whose eye-opening trip to a tiger sanctuary ignites his desire to join those who are roaring to protect the animals

Rohan loves animals—especially tigers—so he's beyond thrilled when he gets to fly to India and stay near the tiger sanctuary where his grandfather works. At last, a chance to observe tigers in real life—especially Arya and her twin cubs—and when Ro finally sees them, the experience is even more breathtaking than he'd imagined. When signs of poachers are discovered, he's distraught, and unfortunately that's not the only threat the tigers face—protesters have assembled to support a mining company that would encroach upon the tigers' space. Rohan knows there are always two sides to an argument, and the mines might provide jobs, but it's clear to him that he must be on the tigers' side. Then a horrible crime occurs, filling him with determination to do all he can to make sure people know how important it is to protect the tigers.
