Bunting's 1997 picture book, Your Move, highlighted the same dilemma in it, the boy's loving family and supportive neighbors are set against the menace of the gang. ''Maybe I want to get to know you better.'' Only when the tiger traumatizes a homeless man can the boy conquer his own fear to aid the tiger's victim. ''But maybe I don't want you to get off,'' the tiger says. When Danny tries to get off the tiger's back, the tiger threatens him. The tiger talks about respect, but wins it through taunts and intimidation. When the tiger calls Danny by name and invites him for a ride through their tough city neighborhood, the boy accepts, but soon learns that he has made a dangerous mistake.
