Product Description

Product Description
Davey's father was murdered when a break-in at his store went horribly wrong. Now, Davey, her mother and her little brother are left shattered, with no idea how to go about rebuilding their lives. The family flees to New Mexico, to escape the painful memories. In this alien place, with its arid landscape and sunbaked earth, Davey meets Wolf, a mysterious boy who understands her without asking questions. Slowly she begins to piece the broken fragments of herself together again. Judy Blume has written some of the best books of our time about real-life issues - family stress and pressures, what happens when your parents divorce, the problems of growing up and sexual awakening, bereavement - with insight, sensitivity and honesty. The response of readers all around the world continues to make her one of the best-loved writers ever published.

About the Author
Judy Blume was born in the New Jersey suburbs - often the setting of her books. When her two children started going to school, she took a course in creative writing at her old university, and an international publishing phenomenon followed. In addition to multi-million sales of her books and numerous awards, Judy is the recipient of an honorary 2004 National Book Award for her contribution to American Literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Judy Blume does it again, 14 Aug 2002
By A Customer
...yes, Judy Blume has written another beautifully written novel that touches and inspires. Even the hardest of hearts will have to avoid getting a tear in their eye as you read of Davy's journey to conquer her grief over her father's death.

Davy's father is killed after a raid on his store and she is by his side as he dies. The book concentrates on when Davy's family move to Mexico for a year to live with Davy's aunt and uncle.

As with most Judy Blume books I've read, things are focused on what happens inside the main character (Davy), so don't expect a flashy, excessively dramatic plot. This is a book about growing up with a difference- when you somethimes have to do it the hard way.

Judy Blume's characters are always flawless and this is no exception- Davy is undeniably human and not perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...6 stars out of 5., 10 Feb 2002
By helenfmarshall@hotmail.com (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I first read this book when I was about eleven or so. I remember sitting in my back garden in the Summer reading Tiger Eyes, but my head was in another world, rich with colour and sound and adventure. Davey, the main character, begins to find herself and come to terms with sorrow as she explores the canyon that they have come to live near. There is nothing I don't like about this book, something that I don't think I can say for too many other books. It still amazes me that Judy Blume has such insight into captivating an audience. I'm 20 now, and my book preferences have changed throughout the years, but I will never be too old to read this again. In fact, this book was such a 'core' book to my growing up and childhood that even now when I'm feeling depressed with life, I know that the magic of Tiger Eyes can revive me. I have to disagree with the comment from another review about it being for girls between the ages of 12-15. I don't think this is a very 'girly' book at all, I think it has a lot to teach everyone. It's easy to read, which is where it gets classed in the childrens fiction section, but it's so beautifully magical, I see no reason that adults should not read it. This book touched me deeply and will remain with me for as long as I can foretell.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly memorable, 1 April 2006
I am 24, and must have been 13 when I read this book, but it really stuck in my mind as a truly excellent book.
Judy Blume books are classics for girls between 12-15, each dealing with sensitive issues perfectly.
This book deals with the death of a family member, and the complicated grief process which ensues. It deals sensitively with the issues of life, mortality and death in a way which girls can understand. I sat in tears with this book. It really is very emotionally demanding, but it is really an excellent book. Highly recommended read.
