Product Description

This fresh take on Peter & Wendy revolves around best-friend stepsisters Wendy and Lily, respectively white and Muscogee Creek, whose relationship strains as their parents contemplate divorce. The adventure begins in familiar fashion, with Peter and Belle the Fairy visiting the sisters Tulsa home to reclaim his shadow and take Wendy (and four-year-old Mikey) to Neverland. But as the journey unfolds, Pans dark side is revealed. A century's worth of Fairy dust has turned him into a self-absorbed tyrant who lures children to Neverland to partake in violent wargames, leading Lily to give chase to rescue her siblings. Smith has brilliantly reshaped the Pan story with a modern, inclusive sensibility. The usual elements are there Merfolk, Fairies, pirates, lost boys but all reimagined for the better, especially the Native characters. The island itself feels like that of TVs Lost, full of danger and mystery, with a will of its own. And while Smith wields J. M. Barries storyteller voice, writing from a head-hopping omniscient point of view that addresses readers directly, this is less a retelling and more a rebuttal, critiquing the problematic aspects of the classic often quite overtly and the consequences of such harmful influences are explored over the course of much action, adventure, and magical island exploration. An exciting journey in its own right and a necessary recommend-along for patrons seeking Barries original.
