Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair. . . .
Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell.
Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him. When she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter.
With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Peaches comes a magical and bewitching story of the romance between a fearless heroine and the boy who wouldn't grow up.

My Thoughts: This was such an interesting story and I loved every second of it. For some reason when I was little I hated Wendy Darling, I used to think it was my inner Tink. You are invited to a new idea of Wonderland, through the eyes of someone who is a native to the mysterious place. Not through the eyes of a little girl, but by a fairy. Tink, unable to speak gives her full commentary on not just Peter, Wendy, and the lost boys, but on the small things of Neverland. What it is to be a fairy, who Tiger Lily really is, and just how dangerous life can be. Having always loved Tiger Lily I enjoyed a story focused on her character. There is more to Neverland that what we see in the original story, and I in fact prefer Anderson's idea of what it actually is. A bit darker, a bit more real, and just as thrilling as the original tale, Read It!
