Waiting On Wednesday #36

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Summary via Goodreads:
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.

Why am I looking forward to Tiger Lily? Because I've always had a soft spot for Peter Pan and I've always liked Tiger Lily--not that I don't like Wendy too, but I like Tiger Lily a bit better. And I mean, the plot sounds really, really fantastic! This is definitely a book that I'm looking forward to reading. 

So, what are you waiting on this week?

  9. Ooooh. I definitely agree with you about Wendy and Tiger Lily, so this will be really cool to have a story from her POV. Also, there have been many TV series and movies that are spin-offs and such of Peter Pan, but I've yet to come by a novel. I'm going to need to check this out for sure. Great pick! :D

    my WoW can be found here! :)
