Lost Boy All children grow up except one... .

there is not an appropriate way to give this book the review it deserves without spoiling it to the core. so, i can't write too much after finishing this because it is still playing through my mind in it's raw form. i also don't want to write too much because of the risk of spoiling it. this book was so intense and surprising, well-written and sucked you right into it. i will definitely not look at Peter Pan the same way ever again.

I'll never see Peter Pan the same way again... Christina Henry tells his story from a completely different perspective and creates a true masterpiece. This captivating, dark retelling stayed with me long after I finished reading it. I loved it!

My all time favorite book. I was crying and laughing and just STUNNED the first time I read Lost Boy and rereading this book four years later I was feeling just the same way. This masterpiece casts a whole other light on the story of Peter Pan and his lost boys, on their Island where no one ever ages... right?

We all know the enchanting story of Peter Pan, where he saves children from their previous, boring lives and gives them the chance to be children forever. But what if his story is far more brutal than this, and he is the self-righteous villain.   You follow Jamie's story, who is one of Peter's children and soon to be our beloved Captain Hook. Jamie has to act rational to keep most of the children alive because Peter does not care about them at all.  In this book, you get to know Neverland like you never have. All it's diverse and mysterious creatures and complex characters. Peter promised his children an adventurous and exciting life, but when they get there, everything is far more dangerous than they expected. Most of them won't even survive for a year.  Christina Henry turned a nice and dreamy children's story into a twisted and gripping fantasy novel for adults.   This book shows us that behind every fairy tale there is a dark twist and that we don't have to believe everything we've been told. Sometimes our hero is actually the villain of the story.

This marvelous adventure-story lets you see the dark side of the magical island, which is home to Peter Pan and his lost boys. Jamie has been with him for many seasons as the fun starts to crumble and the dead boys outnumber the living by far, but some newcomers will change everything... Diese wundervolle Abenteuer-Geschichte lässt den Leser die dunkle Seite der magischen Insel von Peter Pan und seinen verlorenen Jungen sehen. Jamie ist schon sehr viele Sommer bei ihm und der Zauber beginnt zu verblassen als es weit mehr tote als lebende Jungen gibt. Doch einige Neuankömmlinge werden alles verändern...
