2021 Pride Read-A-Thon Book Review:
Lost In the Never Woods
š§♀️š§♀️š§♀️š§♀️š§♀️/5š§♀️
Yes, another retelling. As I said, I’m a sucker for them. Aiden wrote the amazing Cemetery Boys (a must read if you haven’t already) and so when this came out I knew I had to have it. Plus being a Wendy, I’m a sap for Peter Pan and twists on the fairytale.
This one takes place over the summer between high school and college and in modern day Oregon.
Wendy Darling survived something, she can’t remember exactly what, but it’s been 5 years and her brothers have been missing the whole time. Since “it” happened she has been drawing Peter Pan and a mysterious tree without realizing she’s doing it. And kids are going missing…kids she has a connection to.
Then she hits Peter with her truck and the real heart of this story starts.
What happened to her brothers? Why can’t she and what can’t she remember? How is Peter Pan real?
This is a such a moving and deep story. It’s magical and real. It’s about loss and the mind and how it protects us from pain and trauma. And it’s about love.
Aiden did it again!! An incredible story!! Scary at times and wonderful from start to finish.
