From the national bestselling author of Alice comes a familiar story
with a dark hook--a tale about Peter Pan and the friend who became his
nemesis, a nemesis who may not be the blackhearted villain Peter says he
is...
There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is
the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan's
first--and favorite--lost boy to his greatest enemy.
Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no
grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join
in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate's sword.
Because it's never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors
are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock--the
kinds of playthings that bite.
Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter lies.
