Hunted and quickly aging, Peter Pan is searching for the one person that can restore Neverland and send him home. When she receives a clue that about his last known whereabouts, she drops everything and begins her search in London. The only thing she has left of Connor is a worn copy of Peter Pan…and a note telling her that he’s going to Neverland. Years after the disappearance of her twin brother, Claire Kenton is a broken girl with a freak skin condition and a dead-end job. Let me introduce you to Dust, aka the reason why I’ve been staying up way past my bed time for the last 4 nights.
I just prefer not so much romance, especially in a YA book.You know the mark of a good book? When you want to read it again immediately after you finish it. It wasn’t bad, the kisses were only “deep”, nothing untoward. The only parts I didn’t care for was the angst and the kissing. He was written very well in this book, and I didn’t feel like he was an interpretation, but an extension, of the beloved character we all love. And I love how it is turned into a positive thing, with Claire choosing to embrace her “condition”. As someone with chronic illness, I was easily able to relate and sympathize with her, knowing the uncomfortableness of feeling like you need to hide your illness. I love how Miss Swanson modernized this tale by having Claire have a “skin condition”.
I went into this book super excited and it met my expectations! The truth behind this fairy tale is about to unravel everything Claire thought she knew about Peter Pan–and herself.
The girl who fears her own destiny is on a collision course with the boy who never wanted to grow up. Grounded in London and hunted by his own Lost Boys, Peter searches for the last hope of restoring his crumbling island: a lass with magic in her veins. Peter Pan is having a beastly time getting back to Neverland. Now Claire’s desperate search points to London… and a boy who shouldn’t exist. Claire Kenton believes the world is too dark for magic to be real–since her twin brother was stolen away as a child.
