This modern-day take on the story of Peter Pan will have readers interested from the get-go, and I love the emphasis from the "new Wendy" that women can do hard things. This sequel to Peter Pan will tell you what's happened since the first "Wendy girl" went to Neverland. With a lot of pixie dust, adventure, and fun, you'll be sure to love the time you spend with Peter, Ashley, and all the lost boys while reading this book! I loved that Ashley surprised the lost boys by doing a lot more than just making food for the boys--she's a strong female character that uses her knowledge to problem solve and help Peter Pan and all his boys!
