Who would like this book? Fan of Peter Pan, 8th grade and up, who are interested in getting a different perspective on the story.
The goods on this book: Tinker Bell narrates the complex and dark story of Tiger Lily, Peter Pan’s mysterious love. Tiger Lily has grown up in the Sky Eater tribe of Neverland as an outsider and a wild girl, the adopted daughter of the tribe’s shaman. She loves the forest and is an expert tracker and hunter. One day, she encounters a man from England, barely surviving a shipwreck. She rescues him in spite of her tribe’s warnings, an act which brings her closer to Peter. Her complicated, emotional, and spirited relationship with Peter becomes the central focus of the book, and her struggles with her feelings for him and her difficulties with her tribe make for a deep and satisfying read. This book is for more mature readers who are curious about the psychological complexity of Tiger Lily; it is not a simple retelling of the Peter Pan story.
