What ever happened to Wendy, John, and Michael after they returned from their Neverland adventure? Apparently life has been hard for the trio in the five years since Peter Pan came into their lives. They've been moved to America to seek the best doctors for Wendy (who everyone assumes is suffering from delusions and bringing Michael down with her). John has convinced himself his sister is crazy too. But then Peter shows up, and he's aged! For the last five years he's been living on Earth, stuck here by a promise. At the same time Peter finds the Darlings, Hook and his ship are awakened and sailing to Earth in search of... something. That something turns out to be Wendy and Hook takes custody of the 3 siblings. They return to Neverland and Wendy starts feeling more and more sympathetic towards Hook. This is all leading up to a Pan/Hook showdown at Skullrock...

For a book that I randomly found on sale at B&N.com, I must say it exceeded any expectations I had for it. The writing style was great! It drew me in really quickly. The weird thing is that not THAT much actually happens in the book, but it was just fun to read. It was a nice break for me from the YA Contemporary I've been reading lately. (This is the kind of fantasy that I can get into. Not all the world is ending and zombies/diseased people/corrupt new societies are after me kind of stuff.... too depressing!)

The thing with Wendy and Hook kind of weirded me out a little bit. I mean I always pictured Hook as older and Wendy was 17 in this book... not to mention it's HOOK for crying out loud, sworn enemy! But just because the book didn't go in the direction I wanted it to, it didn't ruin the story for me. Also I was sort of sad that Neverland had to die and was made to seem like a selfish place. In my mind Neverland is the place you go to in your dreams, not a kidnapper. But even with that it still was a pretty great ending. I think it was just great for an indie publishing author and I will definitely be reading the sequel!!

Either this was a fairly short book or I read through it rather quickly. Either way this was an enjoyable story. This is a "what if" treatment of the story of Peter Pan and Neverland. What if after Wendy, John and Michael returned, no one believed their story of their trip to Neverland? What if instead they believed the children had been kidnapped and abused, and their stories merely a defense mechanism?

Peter Pan had pledged that he would not return to Neverland until he had found homes for all the Lost Boys and they were happy in their new lives. That was five years ago, and now a teenage Peter is bewildered why he still cannot return home. With Tinkerbell's help Peter finds out Wendy is the final 'Lost Boy' who is unhappy. But his attempt to rescue her accidentally throws her and her brothers into the clutches of Captain James Hook and crew. But Captain Hook may not be as evil as Wendy has always assumed...

Like I stated previously this was an enjoyable story, if not a great one. The only thing that really bothered me is that the story takes place in recent time, not really five years after the original story. I understand there is a sequel in the works, which I may want to read. ( )
