Found this World Book Night book in a charity shop in Eastleigh. It didn't have a BCID written in it so I'm re-registering it. This is what would have been written in the journal entry from WBN back in 2011:

My second time reading this book. I’ll admit that part 1, the first 90-odd pages can be a bit of a slog as the narrator tells of his childhood in India and his zoological and religious learnings. It makes you question where all of this is going? But from part 2 onwards, the shipwreck story is nothing short of amazing. And the ending is brilliant. I flew through this book over two days and felt complete satisfaction when it ended. It all makes sense; his growing up with animals and their traits and survival methods, and how he had many gods looking out for him throughout his arduous journey. I’ve never watched the film adaptation. But it’s on my To Watch list. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this book for pure escapism and a wonderfully told story about a young Indian boy and his travels with a Bengal tiger.
