[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Tale of Tiger Lily" by Jill Featherstone.]
The Tale of Tiger Lily by Jill Featherstone is based on the character originally in the story of Peter Pan. This book focuses mainly on the title character, her family, and her life. While Peter Pan and Captain Hook are included, it tells how they were involved from Tiger Lily's point of view, along with her father Chief Great Little Big Panther, and her journey on growing up. Tiger Lily starts out as a very stubborn and egotistic young woman who thinks she has the right to live her life how she wants it, even if it's not good for herself. She has several strong people in her life, including her father, to show her how to make good choices, but at the time she doesn't always recognize it. There are many terrible experiences that happen, some of which include her mother dying when Tiger Lily is young to heartbreak to not knowing what to do in her life, which causes a wide range of emotional reactions for Tiger Lily.
The Tale of Tiger Lily incorporates many good life lessons that help to show just how important family and friends are. Tiger Lily, so much like many of us when we were young, feels she knows what is best for herself, no matter what her family and friends might say. She is fortunate to have loving friends and family who know just how to help her realize these things herself without doing something so that she will rebel. Her father knows her very well.
At first, I thought there were a lot of romantic interests for a young people's book, but then I realized she really had to learn from each relationship, and outside of marriage they were platonic. Though I thought the beginning was a little slow it quickly got more interesting and I found it to be a very enjoyable read. There really wasn't anything that I disliked about the book.
I would recommend it for anyone age 12 and above. It had enough action, history, and relationships along the way for boys and girls. There was one minor profanity word and only kissing was described slightly. I am much older but enjoy young people's books and after the beginning looked forward to reading this book.
Due to several minor errors in it, though it was always easy to figure out what it was saying, and it being slow at first, I have decided to rate it 3 out of 4 stars. It was very good and I would say people that enjoy adventure, some fictional history, and a good young people's story would thoroughly want to read it.
