Description:

Pi Patel is a curious boy who grows up at his family's zoo in Pondicherry, India. He loves animals and follows three religions at once. When his family sails to Canada with their animals, the ship sinks in a storm. Pi is the only person who survives, sharing a small lifeboat with a huge Bengal tiger called Richard Parker. For 227 days he drifts across the Pacific Ocean, using his wits to find food, stay safe, and keep the tiger from eating him. It is a gripping story about courage, faith, and never giving up.
