«Tiger, Tiger» is the historical young adult novel by Lynne Reid Banks, published by HarperCollins Children's Books in paperback (240 pages, in English).
Two tiger cub brothers are snatched from the jungle and taken to ancient Rome. One becomes the pet of Princess Aurelia; the other is trained to fight in Caesar's circus. Aurelia detests her father's brutality and takes refuge with Julius, the slave in charge of the tigers; a forbidden friendship with grave consequences.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 13, interested in ancient Rome and animal stories.
