Tiger Lily
by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Book Description:
Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow
feather in her hair. . . .
Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings.
Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of
Neverland and immediately falls under his spell.
Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares
and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of
Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she
is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him. When she is faced
with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the
life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter.
With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's
the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is
not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live
inside even the most loyal and loving heart.
Review:
Though I LOVED the concept for this book and found the way that Anderson twisted the story to be really interesting, I had a really hard time connecting to the characters. This story is actually told by Tinker Bell and so you are watching Tiger Lily, Peter Pan, and the lost boys from a distance. It makes it easy to see everything that's happening, but it made it hard to really understand everything that Tiger Lily was feeling.
If you are a Peter Pan fan, I would recommend giving this a try. See if it works for you, or if you have the same problem I did... This reimagining of Neverland is worth reading anyway.
