Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

To Be Published: July 3rd 2012 by Harper Collins Children's Books

 

15 year old Tiger Lily, proud and fierce, wild and misunderstood, doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the 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, big-hearted but hard to reach, 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 the haunted, hunted, courageous boy who loves her. When - as a punishment for her rebellious ways - 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.

 

-----------------------

  I am loving the idea of reading the Peter Pan tale from Tiger Lily's POV.  I am curios to know which direction the author will take the story.  Although with a boy who will never grow up I am a little worried about the HEA.  This might be a totally sad read, but it is still on the top of my summer-reads wish list!  Also, the cover? Love it! I thought the picture was a flower at first glance, but realized it was a girl after looking at it closer.  Very cool!
