Jodi Lynn Anderson chose a much-neglected character as her protagonist. Not just for visiting and revisiting the original Peter Pan, but also because it offers endless possibilities for new stories. 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. With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. 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. Soon, she is risking everything-her family, her future-to be with him. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland’s inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Impetuous and brave, he both scares and enthralls her. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell. But it worked in its own way and even left me with a bit of a book hangover.įirst sentence: She stands on the cliff, near the old crumbling stone house.īefore Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair.įifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn’t believe in love stories or happy endings.
