Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson (292 pages)


Tiger Lily had always been taught to fear Peter and the lost boys. All of Neverland had stories about Pan and the men he’s killed. But when Peter leaves a mysterious note on her pillow one night, her curiosity overpowers any doubt. An unwanted engagement and a disapproving tribe gives her even more reason to stray from her own village and strengthen her strange bond with the lost boys. They introduce her to a life of childlike fun and adventure. To Peter and Tiger Lily, it feels like forever until they are suddenly entangled in a web of betrayal, broken promises, and life-threatening battles. Though Peter has grown large in her heart, she realizes she must make a choice. This, a mesmerizing tale of Neverland before Wendy, fills in some of the gaps of Peter Pan’s story. It gives insight into the minds of the boys and girls who never grew up.
