Read In: English
Wendy Darling has a perfectly agreeable life with her parents and brothers in wealthy London, as well as a budding romance with Booth, the neighborhood bookseller's son. But one night, while their parents are at a ball, the charmingly beautiful Peter Pan comes to the Darling children's nursery, and – dazzled by this flying boy with god-like powers – they follow him out of the window and straight on to morning into Neverland, an intoxicating island of feral freedom.
As time passes in Neverland, Wendy realizes that this Lost Boys' paradise of turquoise seas, mermaids, and pirates holds terrible secrets rooted in blood and greed. As Peter's grasp on her heart tightens, she struggles to remember where she came from – and begins to suspect that this island of dreams, and the boy who desires her, have the potential to transform into an everlasting nightmare.
I think i've never read a Peter Pan retelling before that centers around Wendy. But i did like it very much. While reading you know something's wrong, but Wendy doesn't understand at first. Her brother John was quite annoying, because he is so mean to her for no reason. When you're a fan of Captain Hook, you will have to wait until the end of this book though.
