A very pleasing read. I grabbed this galley not knowing anything about it, but this is a story that is both heartbreaking and captivating. Two little girls are lost in the dangerous brush after a horrific boat wreck and are adopted by a pair of tigers. The girls slowly lose their human traits as they bond with the tigers. Honestly, I couldn't put it down and at 180 pages it is a really short story. I'm not sure how realistic it is, but stories of feral kids have always been a fave of mine. The book is made up of mostly male characters, many of whom are not shiny examples of humans, but the girls are really brave.
