Tigers Fall

Lupe loves nothing more than riding her father's horse, El Diablo, through the fields surrounding their Mexican village. Her fearlessness has earned her the nickname "Tigrilla" -- Little Tiger. She even dares to climb the haunted tree in the village -- but she has a terrible fall. Lupe is left paralyzed from the waist down. She will never again be able to ride El Diablo. Lupe is filled with rage & self-pity. Then her family brings her to a center run by & for disabled people. Despite the evidence around her, she refuses to believe that people with disabilities can be happy & self-sufficient, but slowly the spirit of the center helps Lupe realize that she, too, has something to offer. "Tells a compelling story about coming to terms with disability."Bang, Molly Garrett is the author of 'Tigers Fall', published 2001 under ISBN 9781422390856 and ISBN 1422390853.
