The book Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper is a book that I dedicate to all alcoholics out there in this world. Andy, B.J, Tyrone, and Robert where four best friends who joked and played around but they didn't realize having much fun can lead to trouble, big trouble. Andy's life has dramatically change after a horrible night. A night when he lost one of his best friends, Robert. It was the night the four best friends went out after winning their basketball game in their hig school, Hazelwood High.
