=**Summary of the Plot**= Tiger Eyes is a wonderful story about a girl going through hard things in her life. Her father got shot trying to protect their shop, and two weeks later she had to start her first year of High School. She faints out of nowhere and she doesn't feel like she's fitting in. Everything's tough going for her family. Until her Aunt and Uncle invite her family to go live in New Mexico with them. After that, everything changes! New school, new house, finding new friends. Maybe this isnt the right idea for Davey and her family!

When Davey's family decide to move to New Mexico they find out that "The Hills," New Mexico is not as bright and sunny as they were told. But, Davey went to one of the canyons and climbed down it, while she was climbing down, she met a boy named "Wolf". As they started talking they find out that they have a lot of things in common with each other. Sadly, Davey finds out that when they are in New Mexico, more people come and break into their shop back home in Atlantic City, and break everything they could put there hands on!! That makes her mom get frustrated and mad, and it makes her have a terrible break down and later having severe, daily headaches. And if that doesn't make her life miserable enough, Davey finds out that she is staying longer in New Mexico so she has to go to school! Period!!! Which obviously, she doesn't want to go to school! She doesn't feel like New Mexico is where she belongs. After having some bad times in school, Davey is finding out that she is getting to know "Wolf" better. He's a very sweet guy who seems to be having a good time when Davey's around! In school, Davey has finally found a friend, and her name is Jane. They become very great friends and they try out for a school play called Oklahoma! Davey ends up getting the lead roll in the play and she was very happy! She ended up having a very good time and does amazing!!

Later, Jane talks Davey into doing a club with her where you can go and help patients out in the hospital. Davey soon seems to really like one of the patients she helps. He is only 56, and is really struggling with cancer. She soon finds out that it is Wolf's dad. She gets extremely shocked. He ended up passing away the next day and she crys her heart out! Wolf then tells her that he is going away to California to go on with a good job. And that breaks her heart because they were both starting to really like each other! But, when he moved away, he gave her a "Tiger Eye" stone which really got Davey thinking. Davey ends up not seeing Wolf again before she finally moves back to Atlantic City. But, she knows in her heart, that her dad, Wolf, and Wolf's dad will always be with her!

=Evaluation= I love this book! It is sooo interesting and Judy Blume gives you little clues to help solve what might happen next. I highly recommend this book to everyone!!! You won't be able to put it down!!! This book has a lot of voice, exellent word choice, and great ideas to wrap the story together. The characters really come to life in your head! It gives the life as a teenage girl and how she feels about things. But, also from an 8 year old and a mom's perpective. This book is wonderful!!!!
