"A dark twist on a familiar tale that readers will have difficulty
putting down." (School Library Journal)
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 freedom.
As time passes in Neverland, Wendy realizes that this Lost Boy's
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.
