A dark Peter Pan retelling. Nick is tricked by Peter into joining him in Neverland, which sounds like a dream land of magic and freedom. Instead he finds himself surrounded by feral children and thrown into a power struggle of Neverland's leaders.
This book is so good it's unreal. I love Peter Pan retellings but this one takes the cake. Peter isn't some wide eyed boy who only sees the good in the world, he's like an angry teenage spirit of the forest who fights against adult authority.
The expansion of Neverland lore and characters was so entertaining to read and Brom's art mixed with the storyline made for a beautiful journey into a chaotic world.
If you get a chance to pick up this book, you won't regret it!
