An emotional and true to life story - Rated 
I have read this book for the module Young Adult Literature as part of my teacher-training course and it has made a deep impression on me.
The story is about a young teenager, Davey, whose father is brutally murdered during a robbery. Her mother decides to take Davey and her younger brother to New Mexico where they can stay with her sister- and brother-in-law. Davey meets a stranger whilst hiking in the mountains who calls himself Wolf and he calls her tiger-eyes. Davey tells everybody that her father has died from a heart attack but is eventually able to tell her therapist what really happened to her father. I was shocked when I finally read her story about that night because I never expected Davey to be so involved. Judy Blume has written a very real to life story that will surely appeal to a wide age group. This book deals with losing a loved one, being in love, teenage sexuality and teenage life. I surely recommend this to anybody, as it is a great story!
Truly memorable - Rated 
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.
Judy Blume does it again - Rated
...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.
...6 stars out of 5. - Rated
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.
Powerful and moving, a memorable book - Rated
Like another of the reviewers I read this book when I was about 13 or 14.It is one of my all-time favourites and helped me to cry for someone else when I couldn't cry for myself. I've read it more than once and passages and words still remain in my head. It has been part of my own emotional growing process. I cannot recommend it enough
