Claws

When Cody is 14, he runs away from home, leaving behind his abusive mother, and flees across the country. He doesn' t stop until he hits Texas and the Sam Houston Tiger Ranch. Under the guidance of Sunny, the ranch' s owner, he cares for the animals in ways he never imagined. He feeds them a diet of raw, bloody meat. He cleans out their cages. He takes them for exercise. He finds out how to get a tiger to back down, and when he should back down himself. But there is another lesson Cody has to learn-- sometimes people are harder to handle than tigers.
