I loved all the unique fantastical facts, like the whispering stars and mothers organizing their children’s thoughts.
Unfortunately, I can’t ignore the racism in this book. If I ever chose to read this aloud to a child I would have to change the words and descriptions about the native people in Neverland.
Aside from this major flaw, the book managed to capture the joyfulness and sometimes cruelty of childhood in a way that I didn’t expect.

It is important to note that Barrie’s book is from a very different time and thus feature outdated views and language.

Reading this book once was enough - it will not get a place on my bookshelves and I hope my children never ask to read it.
