7.3/10 What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland…with Captain Hook?
This is the eighth book in the New York Times Bestselling Series Twisted Tales.
Book summary: Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling's life is not what she imagined it would be. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess—it all makes her wish things could be different.
Wendy's only real escape is in writing down tales of NeverLand. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. She also holds on to his shadow.
So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn't quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help.
But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it's up to the two of them to save Peter Pan—and his world.
Book review:
I'm not going to lie. I love this series, but this book was one of lesser quality. Aside from the great description and the impeccable details, it was not as good as I wanted it to be. We don’t even meet Peter Pan til the last quarter of the book. I mean it took Wendy two thirds of the book to realize that since it was her imagination. She could conjure things up into Neverland to help her and Tinkerbell. That is why it pains me to give this book 7.3 stars because I absolutely love this author. She is so talented, and I feel bad for giving it this rating, but it is my honest review.
I would recommend this book for fans of this series and or Wendy and Tinkerbell, not for Peter Pan.
