Through Tink’s eyes I was able to see how she couldn’t quite give enough and wasn’t exactly what Peter needed. I fell for Peter as she did, little by little she gave into him and let him into her heart. Tiger Lily is one of the most lyrical and heart wrenching stories that I have ever read. From page one I was taken by Tiger Lily and they way she was vastly different from those around her.

If you want a love story that will surprise you and make your heart ache… I teared up a bit and my heart melted, I will definitely be continuing on with this series. It was the ending that really cinched my love for this novel. The relationships were fleshed out and the whole novel was action packed and fun. I loved the way in which it went back to the beginning, and helped show who Peter was before he became Peter Pan. Spoiler alert: Peter Pan is actually one of my least favorite stories from my childhood (as well as one of my least favorite Disney movies…ugh, Wendy) but I still felt myself enthralled by Peter and the Starcatchers. Hey there, lovelies! This month the gals and I went a little younger in our pick and chose Peter and the Starcatchers as our May read! We mainly chose it because the narration is done by Jim Dale and we loooove Jim Dale!! I actually started off listening to this one but didn’t have much time so I picked up the print copy and was very impressed by both! Much like I did for our post on The Goose Girl, I am going to talk to you guys about some retellings that you can read if you are interested in Peter Pan.
