Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Life is all about perspective. You can see the world is so many different ways depending on who's lens from which you view. Such is the tale of Tiger Lily. This small YA book caught me by such a surprise. All the same players are there - Pan, Smee, Hook, and of course Tink and Tiger Lily. However, everyone is re-created into this new story woven for us by the ever misunderstood Tinker Bell, from a slice of Neverland never heard before.

I had no idea I would grow to love and ache the character of Tiger Lily as much as I did. I want to personally thank Tinker Bell (and the fabulous Jodi Lynn Anderson) for giving her the opportunity to share her tale of woe. This fierce un-aging native Neverland tomboy, unveiled a story of Neverland's Sky-Eater tribe and with a slew of interesting new characters. Not only is this about Tiger Lily, but this is a tale of Tinker Bell as well. Her vanity and shallowness are disproven as she shows be the most faithful, loyal and loving being in Tiger Lily's existence. This sly little pixie, *gasp* is not Peter's side-kick at all, but Tiger Lily's!

For any lover of the tales of Neverland, I suggest you give this one a go. It may be that Mr. Barry had it all wrong from the start, or quite possibly the wrong side of the story.

Check out the entertaining interview Wendy Darling at the midnight garden had with Buruu the thunder tiger from the new book Stormdancer now available for sale!  I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Telepathic girl samurai warrior meets thunder tiger, throw in some steam-punk and then mix up some romance. Pretty much sold me at girl samurai warrior, everything else is just icing on the cake.  I'll post my review when my hot hannies have their way!

Aside from all that amphitheater drama, my wee man is pretty sweet.

My sweet baby gone bully?

Today I witnessed first hand that my wee boy is a toddler bully.  Not in the extreme, but he definitely had an edge at the zoo amphitheater whilst belly smashing a smaller guy. That's a new helpless feeling.  So we'll be working on that.
