His answer comes in the form of a strange, silent boy his skin marked with tiger-like stripes and a plan to turn curiosity into spectacle. As the boy is thrust into the limelight alongside a live tyger, audiences are captivated. But behind the applause, dark questions stir. Where did the boy come from? Why does he never speak? And what secret binds him to a powerful man with influence and a motive to see him disappear?As the city whispers and danger mounts, someone is arrested for a crime they may not have committed. Rebecca must uncover the truth before the curtain falls for the boy, for Joseph, and for herself A vivid historical tale of wonder, love, and the fine line between performance and exploitation, The Tyger Striped Boy blends the theatrical heart of The Greatest Showman with the soulful mystery of Life of Pi.
