A review by balto_hon
On These Magic Shores by Yamile Saied Méndez

4.0

I loved the take on the story of Peter Pan. There were a few places where the story was just too much of a stretch but I certainly kept reading. What I absolutely appreciated the most- a best friend relationship between a boy and a girl that wasn’t laden with romantic undertones! Many of my closest friends have been male, and I rarely if ever saw those friendships reflected in literature.

This is an enjoyable story of family and recognizing your own strength when you absolutely need to. I see this story best in the hands of grades 4-7
