Kate DiCamillo says of THE TIGER RISING, "Rob Horton first showed
up in a short story I was writing. I finished the story, but apparently
Rob wasn t finished with me. He hung around for weeks afterward, haunting the other stories I was working on. Finally, I said to him, What in the world do you want? And he said, I know where there s
a tiger. Like Sistine, I said one word back to him, Where? THE TIGER
RISING is how Rob Horton answered me.""
