What does it take to recover from tragedy? This masterful Judy Blume novel has a fresh new look.

Davey Wexler has never felt so alone. Her father has just been killed—shot in a holdup at the 7-Eleven near their home. And now her mother has transplanted her and her little brother, Jason, to Los Alamos, New Mexico, to stay with family and recover.

But Davey is withdrawn, full of rage and fear and loneliness. Then one day, while exploring a canyon, she meets an older boy who calls himself Wolf. Wolf is the only one who understands her—the only one who can read her sad eyes. And he is the one who helps her realize that she must find a way to move forward with her life.

Davey is one of Judy Blume’s most hauntingly true human beings, capturing the deep ways a person can change that can’t be seen—only felt. Her story has been felt, deeply, by readers for decades.

Grade: B-

After Davey's father is murdered in his store in Atlantic City, she, her mother and brother move to Los Alamos to with her aunt and uncle. Despite her anger and grief, her mother's depression and her aunt and uncle's strict overprotectiveness, she makes friends and begins to heal.

TIGER EYES is the 5th Judy Blume book I've read this week, revisiting some of her works from my childhood in the seventies, when she wrote many of her middle grade and teen books. Due to the lack of technology, TIGER EYES is dated (do teenagers still know what looking up a book in a card catalogue is?). Everybody grieves differently, though many people experience similar feelings and paths toward healing. A lot of Davey's healing steps seem to be described, without any later mention. For instance, she tells the therapist something traumatic about the night her father died, seems to have a breakthrough then nothing else. Similarly, other subplots didn't feel finished.

Still, I'd recommend TIGER EYES to teens experiencing grief and those who enjoy realistic fiction.

THEMES: death, grief, substance abuse, moving, school, family

I rated this book a 5/5 stars because it is not only a good read, but it captivates your attention and you want to keep reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories about growing after a big event in life. It was inspirational. I do wish, however, that we could learn of what happens with Davey and Wolf. Does he come and visit her? Does he find the letters in the caves when he returns to Los Alamos? Lots of unanswered questions there but I guess we just leave it to our imaginations. Overall, this was a very well written story and kept your attention. I loved it.

I found the movie on Netflix and decided to watch it, but it seemed like it wasn't quite right, so I decided I had to read the book over again. I loved this book as a kid. And I'm now 40 years old, so yeah, felt a little silly buying it again, but it was worth it. The movie was pretty good, but it does stray from the book. Anyways, the book is still great after all these years. I can relate to it even more now, having lost a parent. I would definitely pass it on to future generations!!
