About this ebook
Andy tackles his guilt and grief in the powerful first book of Sharon M. Draper’s award-winning Hazelwood High young adult trilogy.
Tigers don’t cry—or do they? After the death of his longtime friend and fellow Hazelwood Tiger in a car accident, Andy, the driver, blames himself and cannot get past his guilt and pain. While his other friends have managed to work through their grief and move on, Andy allows death to become the focus of his life.
In the months that follow the accident, the lives of Andy and his friends are traced through a series of letters, articles, homework assignments, and dialogues, and it becomes clear that Tigers do indeed need to cry.

I read this book in middle school and it was so awesome.I loved the characters and the whole stories plot. This is really a must read and it had me in tears. This book teaches you about some important things in life that you do can have some serious consequences. A really great read.

Before starting, I though this book would be really stupid. I read it as an assignment for my English class and it was probably the best book I have ever read. The story really touched me. I cried almost three times while reading this book. It is very sad but it is very easy-going. GREAT READ!!

I read this book for pleasure when I was in middle school and I loved it! I couldn't put the book down I thought it was so powerful. I remember crying so hard at the end. Drinking and driving is horrible and after reading this book I would never do it. All young adults should read this book!
