That’s just what Wendy Darling must decide if she has any hope of returning to Never Land.
Years earlier after she and brothers adventures in Never Land with Peter Pan and Tinkerbell Wendy sits alone in her room.
She has been waiting for Peter Pan to return for his shadow as he had promised her the last time she saw him.
The memories of Never Land have faded for her brothers. They’ve grown up, gone to school and have written their adventures off as youthful imaginations.
But not Wendy. She knows what happened and everyday writes of her adventures in Never Land in her journal.
She has become somewhat of a recluse. Uncomfortable about the structure of her dreary London society she pines for a return to the mystical Never Land .
When her parents discover her journal they confiscate it and plan on sending her away to nanny some boys she doesn’t even now.
Her parents (with good intentions) believe her fantasy filled journal is detrimental to her mental and societal health.
Desperate to return to Never Land she makes a deal with Captain Hook. In exchange for Peter’s shadow she wants Hook to return her to Never Land .
But as with all laid plans things do not turn out the way she intended.
Indeed Never Land, The Lost boys, Peter Pan and the sites and citizens of Never Land are not what she expected them to be. Even Tinker Bell seems different.
Wendy discovers that’s it’s best to be careful what you wish for, you might get it.
Straight On Till Morning is a delightful and engrossing tale about the legend of Peter Pan.
It shines a new light on what Never Land is really like and paints a poignant picture of London society at that time.
Appropriately subtitled: A Twisted Tale, the book examines the fantasy world of Peter Pan and what it really means to never grow up.
Author Liz Braswell does an outstanding job of updating the tales of NeverLand and brings new insight into the lives of the classic characters.
I especially like the insights into Captain Hook and Tinker Bell in this new ‘classic‘ tale published by Disney/Hyperion.
What would happen if mythical creatures like Gnomes, fairies, minotaurs, dragons and other fantasy figures have embraced the modern pitfalls of human society?
In Quests Of Yore Barley and Ian set out on a quest, only with a modern twist.
Readers are invited to come along on in a once in a lifetime adventure.
Filled with maps, characters descriptions, mythical and mysterious items, magic and enchanted locales the book is a colorful romp.
However Barley and Ian somehow manage to make a long held traditional ancient quest totally outrageous.
Page after page is filled with their funny, irreverent and modernized take on places, people, objects, creatures and magical tasks.
The 21st Century collides with ancient lore in a hilarious hodgepodge of magic and mayhem from Disneybooks.
