A great book. Pi and his family emigrate from India to North America. His father was a zookeeper and has brought the zoo animals with him. The boat sinks and Pi finds himself on a raft with hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and a 450 pound Bengal tiger. Soon there is only Pi and the tiger. The highlights of the story is how the two manage to survive on board the raft.
