Loading... Tiger Lilyby Jodi Lynn Anderson
   No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Helenliz | Nov 11, 2023 |   ) electrascaife | Sep 7, 2023 | The story of Tiger Lily is remarkable and somewhat frustrating. It gives a fantastic insight to her character that had nearly no part in the cartoon, and in all honesty her story in this book is much better. I found that likewise to the cartoon I still hated the Wendy Bird, and hated even more the guy Tiger Lily saved, and though they were more wild teens I still loved the Lost Boys. This book shows compassion, strength and growth in a dark and wonderful way. It managed to reel me into Never land and not let me go. Although the ending was expected on the first few chapters, the story of Peter and Tiger Lily is so deep that I forgot my guess, and when it happened I was most disappointed. A great read that I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did. (  ) Enchanten | Mar 12, 2023 | CW: Well that was a sad and lovely reimagining of a beloved classic. Peter Pan is a story that has so many layers to it with some quite complex characters. It was nice to see it written from Tinkerbell's point of view with Tiger Lily as the main character. Life before Wendy was difficult for Tiger Lily as she was torn between being herself and fulfilling the expectations of her father and the village. Unfortunately I feel like the blurb of this book gives away too much of the story so I pretty much knew how everything would unfold. Still an enjoyable reading experience about a true warrior. ( ) Mrs_Tapsell_Bookzone | Feb 14, 2023 | This is an enchanting heart-wrenching book of the story of Peter Pan told by Tinkerbell. Actually, it's the story of Tiger Lily told by Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, Wendy, and Captain Hook just happen to be in the story. This is dark and often brooding (in a good way) book cast in a vibrant Neverland world from Jodi Lynn Anderson's imagination. Neverland: where people stop aging and remember every sunset. I love giving depth to Captain Hook as just not some guy bent on Peter Pan's destruction. Smee was more than a sniveling butt-kisser. Tinkebell was a lot more than just a jealous fairy. And Tiger Lily ... Where to begin with her? She's one of the most fascinating fictional characters I've met. She's stoic and difficult to read (even for Tinkerbell who could read thoughts). She's quiet and so tortured that sometimes you just want to hold her and say it will be alright. This is a 4.5 star book. It's enchantingly different than anything else you've read.

 Tiger Lily. By Jodi Lynn Anderson. July 2012. 304p. Harper Teen, $17.99 (9780062003256). Gr. 8-11. In expressive, graceful language, Anderson tells the story of the fierce Tiger Lily and her thorny romance with the legendary Peter Pan. In remote Neverland, Tiger Lily has grown up with the Sky Eaters after being taken in by the shaman Tik Tok. At 15, already snubbed for her wild independence and nonwomanly hunting and fighting, Tiger Lily irrevocably changes her village when she rescues a shipwrecked Englander. Motivated by compassion, she fails to realize how his religious fervor poisons her tribe until it is too late. Her rescue captures Peter Pan's interest, and she is drawn to his strange mix of boyish enthusiasm, casual barbarity, and guarded loneliness. When Wendy Darling arrives on another English ship, Tiger Lily must decide whether to fight for her love or let him go. Narrated by Tinkerbell, whose empathy allows her to see into others' experiences, this wistful retelling has strong elements of tragedy, infused with regret, loneliness, and lost love, but its sensitive, passionate portrayal of familiar characters, here more damaged than we knew them, is captivating.--Krista Hutley AwardsNotable Lists
Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily receives special protections from the spiritual forces of Neverland, but then she meets her tribe's most dangerous enemy--Peter Pan--and falls in love with him. No library descriptions found. |
