Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
3.0
I’m actually not that familiar with the original story of Peter Pan as I’ve never read or watched any adaptations of it so I went into this book not even knowing who Tiger Lily is in relation to the original story. I thought that I might get confused at not knowing who all these well known characters are, but I didn’t. I actually got sucked into the story quite easily and finished it in a couple of hours.
For the most part I actually really enjoyed it. I thought it was really smart to have Tinker Bell as the narrator because it felt personal to have her first point of view on the story, but because she is so small and can’t speak, she goes unnoticed by the other characters most of the time and therefore can go and watch most scenes that happen in the book, without influencing what other characters do and say, making the story raw and the characters actions true.
I can’t really compare this retelling to the source material, but it’s made me intrigued now to read Peter Pan!
