Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
3.25
Similar to Narnia, which I read recently, in that it's a children's fantasy where regular kids go to a fantastical world. Peter Pan outdoes Narnia particularly in its tone, which is very whimsical and childish. Everything feels like it's taking place in a child's imagination in a manner which is really creative and well done.
Like Narnia, I think the actual plot is pretty boring. Maybe this is a children's book thing, but I really like the plot of Percy Jackson (I guess that's middle-grade not children's, though?). I'm glad I read Peter Pan, but I wouldn't consider it great.
Oh and it's racist.
