Neel loves his home in West Bengal's Sunderbans. So much so that he doesn't really want to try hard for the scholarship because that would mean leaving his home to go to school. When a baby tiger escapes from a nearby reserve Neel sets out to find it before a local rich man finds the cub and sells it on the Black Market. Along the way Neel learns more about himself, his family, and his home.
So overall...it was a quiet story and while I did end up liking it, it wasn't my favorite. The illustrations make it have a younger feel but I would really have to work to "sell" it to my readers.
