Peter Pan, Neverland, the lost boys, Tink... So much childhood in this one story alone. It's such a wild tale, of going on an adventure, of being a child and growing up. It makes me think so fondly of childhood and adulthood. Poor Peter, who needed a mother so, and poor Wendy, who wanted to keep Peter all to herself. It's a beautiful story, while it is bittersweet, for dear Wendy and the Pan boy. I so love it.
I don't know why it took me this long to read the actual book - fantastic!

not sure how i feel about this book.. i enjoyed Disney’s interpretation of Peter Pan growing up, and always loved the idea of being a kid forever. now as an adult, this concept seems like a nightmare. i guess that is one of the main messages of the story, as we watch Wendy and the Lost Boys grow up and forget about Peter and Neverland, while Peter remains exactly the same. not that this matters much to Peter, bc his memory is like Drew Berrymore’s from 50 First Dates lmao. i thought get this book would make me feel nostalgic, but it just makes me feel sad

This was a tragic, magical, sad, dark, and bittersweet book. I never seen the movies so I was expecting it be cute and not as tragic. While reading it, I felt so bad for the lost boys and Peter losing their mothers. It would be interesting to read this from a psychological view especially with Peter's selfishness and hatred of grown ups.
It's almost a bit dated due to the times so it felt strange and disappointing to read Wendy being pushed to be a mother and how her descendants share the same fate. The ending about Peter forgetting everything was so sad as well.. For some reason, Peter gave me the eeby jeebies due to his controlling nature but I enjoyed the book while acknowledging its flaws.
Anyways being in Neverland was whimsical and it was adventurous. The illustrations added charm and helped to picture what was going on.
