�Tiger Eyes� by Judy Blume

Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2002

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.

Coping and moving on from loss at 15 years-old

Reviewed in Canada on June 14, 2004

Davey Wexler is merely 15 years old when her father is shot to death in a hold-up that takes place at his 7-11 store. His death means that he's not only gone for good, but that a ton of new changes are to follow. It means Davey, her mother, and her younger brother, Jason, will be moving to New Mexico to cope. It also means leaving behind the old life, along with other people she loves, such as her best friend, Lenaya, and her boyfriend, Hugh.
It takes awhile for reality to settle in over the denial Davey should naturally - and does - feel. It's ever-so hard for her to believe that, at the funeral, it is her father's body in the casket and not someone else's. She contemplates life without him and wonders if it is feasible. Perhaps this book should be titled It's Not the End of the World, rather than Judy's middle school read about divorce and how it affects a suburban family. This novel is titled TIGER EYES because Davey has gorgeous hazel eyes.
Once she arrives at Los Alamos, she naturally feels what one might feel. She's nervous about meeting people, about making new friends. She worries about how her life at a new high school will turn out. Although many parts of this story are intense, the entire novel flows smoothly and believably together and is not at all aimed at shocking audiences through violence like some may think. True to form, Judy addresses how to cope with loss and creates likable characters. I feel lucky I have yet to experience the death of a loved one and hope I don't have to any time soon. But it's something today's youth faces daily, so why not address it in modern-day literature? That's an especially wonderful way to go about it, a great way to reach readers.
After therapy, Davey's mother decides it's time to move back to New Jersey. Much of Blume's books take place in New Jersey because that is where she grew up and she still resides there today. With the Wexlers moving back home, we sense a return to normalcy. However, Los Alamos really has become normalcy for Davey. She's grown accustomed to it and it feels just like home. She knows the environment and has made friends as well. Still, it's as if she left her New Jersey life on hold and she realizes moving home will complete her experience in coping over her father's death. She simply needs to pick up the place where she left off.
You will (or should!) enjoy this book whether you've lost someone you cherished or you have yet to make it through such a harrowing experience. This YA novel frankly makes me wish Judy would bring us some more of her YA stuff - and SOON!

Made me realize I like reading

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

I read this book when I was in 6th grade and it was the first book that made me realize I could actually like reading. I bought it for my 13 and 16 year olds to read this summer. They are both avid readers, so I knew it was a risk that they’d just roll their eyes at me. They BOTH read it and they BOTH gave it a 10! I read it about 35 years ago, and in 2023 it’s still a great read! It has some tough topics (death of a parent, young love), but I highly recommend it!

Judy Blume does it again with this novel about a teenager grieving the sudden and tragic loss of her father. Blume captures the adolescent experience as this young woman deals with her grief and the grief of her mother and younger brother.

Interesting story

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book was written as the Cold War was ending. That makes the setting in Los Alamos more meaning, in that one theme is getting past your fears. Judy Blume does her usual skillful job of developing characters that touch on themes that resonate with young adults. There was very little about the story that developed as I expected.
