Publisher Description
Davey has never felt so alone in her life. Her father is dead—shot in a holdup—and now her mother is moving the family to New Mexico to try to recover.
Climbing in the Los Alamos canyon, Davey meets the mysterious Wolf, who can read Davey’s “sad eyes.” Wolf is the only person who seems to understand the rage and fear Davey feels.
Slowly, with Wolf’s help, Davey realizes that she must get on with her life. But when will she be ready to leave the past behind and move toward the future? Will she ever stop hurting?

"Oh, Davey!! This book was so important to me after my dad died. Davey, like me, was shocked when her dad died (though he was killed in a robbery, not by cancer), shocked that horrible things really can just happen out of the blue. The thing is, so can good things. So can Wolf. I love this book."

" I have the same hardcover I had as a child and I still re-read it. It is one of the many books my childhood was effected by. I will pass it on to my daughter. "

— Annaleigh, 12/29/2013 -
" I haven't read any Judy Blume since I was about thirteen. I loved her as a kid, but didn't realize how simple her writing style was....which would be why it's written for sappy teenagers. "

— Samantha, 11/14/2013 -
" THIS BOOK IS VERY NICE. IT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY AUNT AS A PUNISHMENT SO I WON'T GO OUT TO A FRIEND'S PARTY, BUT BY THE TIME I OPENED THE FIRST PAGE, I DIDN'T WANT TO GO OUT ANYMORE! JUDY BLUME GAVE A VERY CAPTIVATING ONE, I'M LOVING HER ALL THE WAY........ "
— Hayesha, 11/10/2013 -
" Saw a reference to this book recently and had vivid memories of reading it. It's sad and serious compared to many of Blume's books, but it made a big impression on my in my teens. "
— Mell, 3/15/2013 -
" Great story of how family members deal with the sudden death of a loved one. In addition, it includes issues of socio-economics classes and racism. "
— Barbara, 2/18/2013 -
" This was one of my absolute favorites in middle school. "
— Catherine, 2/4/2013 -
" I think I especially liked this book, because it was one of the first "real" chapter books I ever read. Its simplistic, but real for a person who has a lost a parent or knows what it is like to not have a parent in their life. A sense of something missing. "
— Martha, 1/27/2013 -
" A story to read when procrastinating about something. Though there were bits that were quite sad I found the book nothing special. I was most disappointed with the character Wolf. In my mind he should be kind of like a wolf, quite, insightful, wise... but maybe that's just me. "
— Simone, 12/17/2012 -
" It was an ok book. It wasn't the best book ever. "
— Carina, 9/25/2012 -

" My favorite Judy Blume book. "
— m, 10/29/2011 -
