blakefarron 's review for:

Peter Pan in Scarlet by Geraldine McCaughrean, Scott M. Fischer

5.0

---

This is just as imaginative as the first one, and a little more coherent, possibly due to being a modern novel so it makes it a little easier to read, I suppose. But it's still utter nonsense, and stil an absolute pleasure to read. Anyone who loves the original will love the official sequel. McCaughrean can really imitate Barrie's style extremely well, and she can portray emotions perfectly. This has just as much imagination as the original, if not more in some places. A part of me dare says I prefer this book over the original, but clearly a part of me disagrees. Either way it's a brilliant book, and it's a shame McCaughrean hasnt written any more Pan books, or that Disney hasn't yet decided to animate this one!
