Summary: A classic
Review: Tiger Eyes..... okay, when I started reading it I couldn't put it down. When I finished with it, it wasn't finished with me. This book doesn't make the characters lives all going and good. It talks about reality. Things people really go through. I think it has a message, but I don't know what. Davey was just feeling lonely and felt like she was in a bad soap opera, but she managed to get through it, and I think the book does have a happy ending. But I REALLY think there's room for a sequel. AND a movie! I loved this book. I reccomend it to alot of my friends and relatives. But not kids who don't know the material in this book. I think I was a little young to read it, but I enjoyed it.

Summary: "Tiger Eyes"
Review: I had just recently read "Tiger Eyes" by Judy Blume. It wasn't exactly the best book I have ever read, but it was a really good book. It's about a girl named Davey who's father had just past away. She got through it slowly. This book had really good description, I could really feel how Davey felt. I could actually see her doing every single thing. I loved this book. The only thing I want to know is why was it banned? I think I know why, but I want to be sure. I know there is an inappropriate part in it, but still, it's a great book, I don't exactly understand why it was banned though.

Summary: A Very Touching Story
Review: Usually I read fantasy, or science fiction, or even historical fiction. But every once in a while I will pick up one of those books that tell about a person in the present time. This is one of those books. I saw it in the library, on the young adult shelf, and I picked it up, mostly because I had already read all the other science fiction or fantasy books. I flipped through it, and decided to check it out. After all, if I didn't like it, I could just return it, right? Well, I got home, and after a few days I read it. And read it. I read the whole thing straight through, and I even cried at certain parts. This one book, Tiger Eyes, has the rare quality of that one story that will make you cry whenever you read it. Whether you are a teen or an adult. You will laugh with the girl Davie, and you will worry with her, and you will get angry alongisde her, and you will cry with her. Some books are like that, and this is one, but others make you laugh at the effort the author made. Tiger Eyes is about a young girl, Davie, whose father is murdered in a robbery at his 7-11 store. She and her brother and her mother go to visit her aunt and uncle in New Mexico. They need a change of scenery. A few people ask about Davie's father, and what he does as a job, but she finds that she can't tell them the truth. So she lies.
Davie is afraid of everyone. Anyone around her could be the murderer. She sleeps with a knife under her pillow, and her mom carries a gun. In New Mexico, Davie meets a young man at the canyon, who calls himself Wolf. She admits that her father is dead, and is surprised when he says, "Then we have something in common. My father is dying."
So, along with her meetings with Wolf, and her attendance at a nearby highschool, Davie begins to recover. Unfortunately, she cannot say the same for her mom, who has frequent head-aches and spends most of the time in her room. Davie is worried that her mom might never recover and that they might never return to New Jersey. And meanwhile she has to cope with Wolf, and her friend Jane's drinking problems, and her aunt's fear of everything. She would have never thought that her freshman year of highschool could have held so much fear, anxiety, and sadness. As I titled this review, this is a very touching story. It is filled with Davie's feelings. It is a very very good book, and if you like this type of thing, you should read it. After all, I usually DONT like this type of thing, and I STILL loved it. I think it would be good for readers age 11+up.

Summary: ¿Tiger Eyes¿ by Judy Blume
Review: Adam Wexler was killed during a robbery in his store in Atlantic City. The unknown assailant or assailants escaped with fifty dollars in cash. He is survived by his wife Gwendolyn, his daughter Davis called Davey, 15 and his son Jason, 7. During the funeral Davey could not cry, but afterwards she laid in bed for days and could not eat anything. Her uncle Walter and her aunt Bitsey - the sister of Davey's father - stayed with the family for ten days. After the summer holidays Davey and Jason had to go to school again. However Davey fainted several times and so the doctor recommended her to change her scenery. In order to do this the family decided to visit Walter and Bitsey in Los Alamos. During their visit there, the store next to their apartment in Atlantic City was destroyed again. This caused Davey's mother to break down. Walter and Bitsey decided as a result of this to keep the family (Gwendolyn Davey and Jason) in Los Alamos and Davey and Jason had to go to school there. Davey did not like Los Alamos though feeling that she had nobody to talk to about her problems. She did however find a new hobby - biking uphill and climbing into a Canyon, where she could find herself. There she also met a new friend called Wolf. This 19-year-old boy had nearly the same problem. His father was ill and slowly dying. It is very difficult for a young girl to loose her father. Davey hated the whole world because somebody killed the man she had the best relationship with and who she could talk and laugh with. After this horrible attack Davey was afraid of everybody. She could not sleep without a bread knife under her pillow and she hyperventilated when she saw blood or a gun. She could not face the facts and tell her new friends the truth about her father's death. What she most wanted was to speak with her mother about the happenings and that her mother holds her in the arm and loves her. But Gwendolyn had to deal with loosing her husband on her own way and felt she had to get 'herself together'. Life was not simple for Davey, because she had not only to deal with her father's death, she also had to cope with growing up because being fifteen is not easy at all. Her whole life had changed, before she lived next to the sea in a big city, then she moved to a village in the middle of the mountains. Davey had to find new hobbies; new friends. She had also troubles with Bitsey and Walter. The two of them forbad Davey nearly everything, they argued that skiing, driving a car, biking without a helmet, etc. are too dangerous for her. Davey had never had and was not used to having such strict rules, her father had loved her so much that she could do nearly what she wanted. In my opinion this book is written in an interesting way. The topic is described with a lot of feelings and the reader has empathy for the 15-year-old girl, feeling too like they have lost their father. The language is simple as is the diction, so people can read this book without using a dictionary or a lexicon. I would recommend this book to young people of about 15 years, no matter whether their first language is English or not. If somebody does not want to read this book in English there are also translations in sixteen different languages. The author Judy Blume lives with her husband George Cooper, who writes non-fiction in New York City, and has three grown-up children. Judy has written nineteen books for young people. She receives close to one thousand letters a month from readers and fans all over the world.

Summary: One of my favorite books
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite books. Why? The characters are believable, the plot is involving, and one of my favorite places in the world (other than by the San Francisco Bay) is in New Mexico. Judy Blume obviously knows her settings, since you can actually go to some of the places.
But anyway. I think this book was very depressing at the start, but then, after six (short) chapters, the story gets going. It's a very realistic account of a death in the family.

Summary: Tiger Eyes
Review: The book i have recently read is called "Tiger Eyes" by Judy Blume. It was probably the best book ever written. IT is about a girl named Davy and how she recovers after her fathers death.
The plot starts out in the city of Atlantic City. From her fathers death, her mother decides the need some new scenery. SO they move to mexico with Davys aunt and uncle. In New Mexico it is very dry with a lot of canyons. A canyon is how she met her friend named Wolf.
How this whole book started is when Davys dad died, as mentioned before. Davys family ran a convinient store night below their apartment. One day when Davy went to the beach with her boyfirend, her dad stayed at the sotre to work. Two guys wearing ski masks has walked into the door with guns. Davys dad had always kept a gun om tje cabinet but it was never loaded. HE didnt want his son, davys younger brother, to play with it. Davys dad tried tp scare the robbers away by pointing the gun at them at saying it was loaded. The robbbers shot at her dad and he died instantly. Davy had never gotten over that and niether did her brother and mother. Thats when the decided to visit davys aunt and unlce. Davy never enjoyed it ther at first and just waited and waited until they could leave. Davy just sat in bed, not eating, not sleeping, just pretty much doing nothing. One day when Davy finally got out of bed and went for a bike ride to explore where she was. She stopped at a canyon and set her bike down at the tree. SHe sat at the end of the canyon just thinking about her dad, that night and her mother. She got the idea to walk down the canyon. It was very difficult for Davy and took about an hour and a half. By the time she got down there she didnt know what to do, so she just sat on a rock. Then she spotted somebody walking down the canyon a lot faster than her, asking if she was alright. He got to where Davy was standing and started talking. Since this day they had met at the canyon every day just to talk about life.
SHe ended up being a lot more happu ever since she met Wolf. SHe ended up having to go to shcool there for a while but
