This book is going to need some careful contextualising! I'm giving Tiger Lily four Bookbag stars because I really liked it. And all the while, she loves Peter herself. And she also watches danger creeping around from every side. Tink watches the blossoming love between Peter and Tiger Lily. But how can she love Peter when it's a terrible secret that she has even met him? When she's promised in marriage to someone else? When Tik Tok, her shaman father, would forbid it? Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories but when she meets Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland, her heart burns with a fire she had never expected. And our heroine is Tiger Lily, the native girl who is strange even to her fellow villagers. Our narrator is Tink, the silent, sometimes jealous, fairy. Tiger Lily tells the story of Neverland after Peter Pan arrived but before Wendy came. Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with a feather in her hair.
