When Peter enters her world, he is completely different from everyone she’s known and evokes all kinds of new feelings in her - feelings that put her in conflict with her arranged marriage.įurther, Jodi Lynn Anderson’s latest is narrated by Tinker Bell. She feels outside of the villagers and is treated as so. Tiger Lily is quiet and strong, not particularly feminine, stoic, I guess is the word. Tik Tok of the Sky-Eaters, a shaman who embodies dual genders, takes Tiger Lily home and raises her as his own. Tiger Lily was abandoned in the wilderness as a baby. It amazes me that an author can take a story as light hearted as Peter Pan and make it break your heart wide open, but Jodi Lynn Anderson does it with her latest Tiger Lily, a retelling that focuses on Tiger lily and her relationship with Peter Pan and it’s aftershock. Anderson gives the minor characters of this classic tale nuance and depth and made me, as a reader, care deeply about all of them.
